The fountains mingle with the river
And the rivers with the Ocean,
mix for ever 1819, Stacey MS.; meet together, Harvard MS.
The winds of Heaven mix for ever
With a sweet emotion;
5
Nothing in the world is single;
All things by a law divine
In one spirit meet and Stacey MS.; In one another’s being 1819, Harvard MS.
In one spirit meet and mingle.
Why not I with thine?—
II
See the mountains kiss high Heaven
10
No sister 1824, Harvard & Stacey MSS.; No leaf or 1819.
And the waves clasp one another;
No sister-flower would be forgiven
disdained its 1824, Harvard & Stacey MSS.; disdained to kiss its 1819.
If it disdained its brother;
And the sunlight clasps the earth
And the moonbeams kiss the sea:
15
is all this sweet work Stacey MS.; were these examples Harvard MS.; are all these kissings 1819, 1824.
What is all this sweet work worth
If thou kiss not me?
