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?
