And The Moonbeams Kiss the Sea

So for the past two weeks, I have been reading virtually everything aloud. (When I'm at home, I don't just randomly read aloud in public!) Books, magazine articles, poems, cereal boxes, what have you. This is because I am currently studying and training in the Lessac system of voice and body work. Basically that's a nice, posh way of saying every week I go learn how to talk. Woohooo!!! But I thought I'd share with you one of my favorite poems that I've been reading alot, just because I like it and also I get to "paint lovely pictures" while saying it.

Hope you enjoy!

Love's Philosphy by Percy Bysshe Shelley

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?

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 are all these kissings worth
If thou kiss not me?

  1. Yes I like this poem. Thanks for visiting and glad you enjoy my garden. Glad you like Lewis too. I waatch it for scenes of Oxford which is one of my favourite places to visit.
