UNITE

                adjoin                    associate                    concatenate                    connect

                affix                       attach                         conjoin                            join

                append                  conbine                       

     To unite is to come together so as to form a larger or a stronger unit; as, the United States of America. Combine is the preferable term when a somewhat looser union is to be suggested.  An object that adjoins another touches that other at one or more points or at one side or edge; a garden adjoins a house when lying beside or behind it; if we were to say that the gardenis connected with the house, we should think of some path or passageway by which the one might be reached from the other.

     To conjoin is to join with much completeness and permanence, as by adhesion, intergrowing, r fusing together at a point, edge, or surface; paint is at once conjoined with the surface to which it is applied; things that are joined, but not conjoined. Conjoin is often interchangeable with unite, but conjoin directs attention to the original separateness, unite to the final unity. 

To subjoin is to add at the end, to attach or affix as something additional, to append. Concatenate (at somewhat rare or technical word) signifies to join in a chain or series, all the parts of which have neutral realtions; as, in nature causes and effects are concatenated.  See add; applend; apply; attach.

UNION

coalition                              conjunction                              juncture                              unification
combination                        cooperation                              oneness                               unity
concert                                 junction                                   solidarity  

Union is a bringing together of things that have been distinct so that they combine or coalesce to form a new whole, or state or condition of things thus brought together; in a union the separate individuality of the things united is never lost sight of; we speak of the union of the parts of a fractured bone, or of the union of the thirteen colonies, or of the union of hearts in marriage. Unity is oneness, the state of being one, especially of at which never has been divided or of that which cannot be conceived of as resolved into parts; as, the unity of God or the unity of the human soul.  But unity can be said of that which is manifestly or even conspicuously made up of parts, when a single purpose or ideal is so subserved by all that their possible separateness is lost sight of; as, we speak of the unity of the human body, or of the unity of the church.  Solidarity denotes the unity of a group or class, by which it displays its strength or exerts its influence, either as a whole or through individuals; as, the solidarity of the working classes.  Compare alliance; association; attachment; harmony; marriage.

Apple seeds for Zack

In The Firelight

The fire upon the hearthis low,

And there is stillness everywhere,

And, like wing'd spirits, here and there

The firelight shadows fluttering go.

And as the shadows round em creep,

A childish treble breaks the gloom,

And soflty from a further room

Comes: "Now I lay me down to sleep."

And, somehow, with that little pray'r

And that sweet treble n my ears,

My thought goes back to distand years,

And lingers, with a dear one there;

And as I hear my childs's amen,

My mother's faith comes back to me--

Crouched at her side I seem to be,

And mother holds my hands again.

Oh, for an hour in that dear place--

Oh, for the peace of that dear time--

Oh, for that childish trust sublime--

Oh, for a glimpse of mother's face!

Yet, as the shadows round me creep,

I do not seem to be alone--

Sweet magic of that treble tone

And "Now I layme down to sleep!"
