Love's Philosophy

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 a law divine In one another's being 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 disdain'd 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? Percy Shelley
