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 is all this sweet work worth
if thou kiss not me?
