Poems by Percy Bysshe Shelley : 147 / 325
Love's Philosophy
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?

Liebes-Gedankenspiel
Nach Percy Bysshe Shelley:
Love’s Philosophy
I.
Die Quellen mischen sich im Flusse,
Flüsse, ozeanumschlungen,
Im Wind der Weite wie beim Kusse
Himmlisch willenlos bezwungen;
Gottes Schöpfung wohnt es inne:
Niemand sinnt, allein zu sein.
Warum nur ist unsrer Sinne
Keiner Dein und mein?
II.
Wenn die Höhn mit Wolkenflüssen,
Wenn so nahe sich die Wogen,
Geschwisterlich die Blumen küssen –
Meer zum Land selbst hingezogen,
Sonnetrunken, mondverklärt,
Eins das andre küssen müßt’:
Was ist alles Küssen wert,
Wenn Du mich nicht küßt?
Great use of imagery... No doubt! Shelley is revolutionary in love poems also....
He was such a playa,
that Percy Bysshe Shelley.
amazing poem with strong imagery along with great rhyming.
A poem that is so visually beautiful, it deserves to be read and re-read.
the poem celebrates Shelley's sense of oneness of human beings with Nature... the immortality and universality of the passion of love by which all minds are agitated and all existence is continued in motion! ! !
If thou kiss not me?
............................
The line is enough to die for love. But the word 'Thou' is the toughest word to break its a single petal. Where and how could we get that 'Thou'! Really, such the way a poem becomes of all the ages of the great poets.
sir percy;
maybe,
those nature's attributes
are there for emulating
to enjoy fruits of trying
i know somebody's heart
is attach to her lips
worthy for kissing
Beautiful and wonderful imageries are displayed in this nice poem by master Shelly, our romantic hero of the past!
Words capture the interaction of GODS creation, to the basic kiss of expression.
