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 another's being mingle--
   Why not I with thine?

See, the mountains kiss high heaven,
   And the waves clasp one another;
No sister flower could 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?
