What is it worth?
The fountains ¦¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦
And ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦ the ocean,
The winds ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦ mix for ever
With ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦ emotion;
Nothing ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦ is single;
All things ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦
¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦ meet and mingle.
Why not I with thine?—
¦¦¦ the mountains kiss ¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦
¦¦¦ the waves ¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦
¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦
¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦
And the sunlight clasps ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦
¦¦¦ the moonbeams ¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦
What is all this ¦¦¦¦¦ work worth
¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦
(Blackout of Love's Philosophy by Percy Bysshe Shelley)
