What is the theme and tone of the poem "Love's Philosophy" by Percy Shelley?

The theme of this poem is love.  Specifically, it is a poem in which the speaker is trying to persuade someone else to be in love with him and kiss him.  He is asking her why she should not love him, kiss him etc, given how just about everything else in the world kisses and mingles with each other.


The tone of this poem is quite light.  It is not a very somber or serious poem.  The speaker seems to be teasing the person he is addressing rather than begging her, in my opinion.
