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 devine
in one another's being 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 disdain'd 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?
