Four Fountains after Respighi
F
For water search the cattle;
Faintly on damp air sounds the shepherd’s horn
Above fountain Giulia’s prattle.
Of Naiads summons troops;
A frenziedly leaping and mingling crowd,
Dancing, pursuing groups.
Neptune’s chariot passes by;
Trains of sirens, tritons, Trevi’s jets heal
Then trumpets’ echoes sigh.
Twittering birds and calm;
Medici’s fountain, shimmering net,
Into the night brings balm.
