| CLXXXIV. Love's Philosophy |
| |
| THE fountains mingle with the river | |
| And the rivers with the ocean, | |
| The winds of heaven mix for ever | |
| With a sweet emotion; | |
| Nothing in the world is single, | 5 |
| 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; | 10 |
| No sister-flower would be forgiven | |
| If it disdain'd its brother; | |
| And the sunlight clasps the earth, | |
| And the moonbeams kiss the sea— | |
| What are all these kissings worth, | 15 |
| If thou kiss not me? | |
