Love Poems
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,
All things by a law divine
In one another's being mingle
Why not I with yours?

See the mountains kiss high heaven,
And the waves clasp one another;
No sister-flower would be forgiven
If it annoys its brother;
And the sunlight clasps the earth,
And the moonbeams kiss the sea
What are all these kissings worth,
If you kiss not me?
