Charles Gounod - The fountain mingles with the river
40
Copied!
The fountain mingles 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 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 disdained its brother;
And the sunbeams clasp the earth
And the moonbeams kiss the sеa:
What are all these kissings worth
If thou kiss not mе?
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 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 disdained its brother;
And the sunbeams clasp the earth
And the moonbeams kiss the sеa:
What are all these kissings worth
If thou kiss not mе?
