And the Sunlight Clasps the Earth is a crescent shawl, knitted from the top down, with a stocking stitch body and a lace border. It’s the crescent shaped version of And the Moonbeams Kiss the Sea. They have the same lace pattern and they both have names from the wonderful poem Love’s Philosophy by Percy Bysshe Shelley.

Size 2, 202 cm / 42 cm. Yardage 480 - 510 m.

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?Percy Bysshe Shelley
