Poem

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 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 disdained it’s brother;
And the sunlight clasps the earth,
  And the moonbeams kiss the sea;–
What are all these kissings worth,
  If thou kiss not me?
