 1.
 

 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;         5
 

 All things by a law divine
 

 In one spirit meet and mingle.
 

 Why not I with thine?--
 

2.
See the mountains kiss high Heaven
And the waves clasp one another; 10
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 15
If thou kiss not me?
