I
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 spirit meet and mingle.
Why not I with thine?-
II
See the
mountains kiss high Heaven
And the waves clasp one another;
No
sister-flower would be forgiven
If it disdained its brother;
And the
sunlight clasps the earth
And the moonbeams kiss the sea:
What is all
this sweet work worth
If thou kiss not me?
Percy Bysshe Shelly
