You've given me a reason

For smiling once again.

You've filled my life with peaceful dreams

And you've become my closest friend.

You've shared your heartfelt secrets

And your trust you've given me.

You showed me how to feel again,

To laugh, and love, and see.

If life should end tomorrow

And from this world I should part,

I shall be forever young

For you have touched my heart

Love's Philosophy
by Maria

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 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 disdain'd its brother;

And the sunlight clasps the earth,

And the moonbeams kiss the sea

What are all these kisses worth

If thou kiss not me?
