Love's Philosophy
Percy Bysshe Shelley


The fountains mingle with the river
And the rivers with the ocean;
The winds of Heaven mix for ever
With a sweet emotion;
Nothing in the world is single,
All things by law divine
In one spirit meet and mingle--
Why not I with thine?

See the mountains kiss high Heaven
And the waves clasp one another;
No sister-flower would be forgiven
If it disdained its brother;
And the sunlight clasps the earth,
And the moonbeams kiss the sea--
What is all this sweet work worth
If thou kiss not me?
