Loves Philosophy
I.
The Fountains mingle with the
And the rivers with the ocean,
The winds of heaven mix for
With a sweet emotion;
Nothing in the world is single,
All things by a law
In one another's being mingle—Why not I with thine?
II.
See the mountains kiss high
And the waves clasp one another;
No sister-flower would be
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?
