• Love’s Philosophy – Percy Bysshe Shelley

  • The fountains mingle with the river,
    And the rivers with the ocean;
    The winds of heaven mix forever
    With a sweet emotion;
    Nothing in the world is single:
    All things by a law divine
    In another’s being mingle–
    Why not I with thine?

    See, the mountains kiss high heaven,
    And the waves clasp one another;
    No sister flower could be forgiven
    If it disdained its brother;
    And the sunlight clasps the earth,
    And the moonbeams kiss the sea;–
    What are all these kissings worth,
    If thou kiss not me?
