The fountains minglewith 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 kisshigh heaven

And the waves claspone another;

No sister-flower would be forgiven

If it disdainedits brother;

And the sunlight clasps the earth

And the moonbeams kiss the sea:

What is all this sweet workworth

If thou kiss not me?
