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 are all these kissings worth, |
|
If thou kiss
not me?
|
P. B. Shelley |
