“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?
Thank you for following my posts for National Poetry Month. π
Thanks, for taking the time to write romantic poetry, such powerful words and natural beauty of the human spirit and the earth’s sun and moon resonate love in action.
I have become excited in the art of poetry and hope to never again overlook the beauty of these written words.
