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 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?
