text: Love's Philosophy by Percy Bysshe Shelley
 
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?
