My favorite love poem


Love's philosophy
(Percy B. Shelly)

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 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 moonbeam kiss the sea;
what is all this sweet work worth
If thou kiss not me?
