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 one another's being mingle;--
Why not I with thine?
See! the mountains kiss high heaven,
And the waves clasp one another;
No sister flower would be forgiven,
If it disdained it's brother;
And the sunlight clasps the earth,
And the moonbeams kiss the sea;--
What are all these kissings worth,
If thou kiss not me?
It's about how everything in nature and the universe is linked to something else as if its working in harmony. Like one couldn't exist without the other. The "sunlight clasps the Earth" is just showing linkage between the different elements of the earth.

thanks so much!
