Love's Philosophy

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 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 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?

                 ~ Percy Bysshe Shelley
