| Four Fountains after Respighi |

| |
| FRESH mists of Roman dawn; | |
| For water search the cattle; | |
| Faintly on damp air sounds the shepherd’s horn | |
| Above fountain Giulia’s prattle. | |
| |
| Triton, joyous and loud | 5 |
| Of Naiads summons troops; | |
| A frenziedly leaping and mingling crowd, | |
| Dancing, pursuing groups. | |
| |
| At high noon the trumpets peal, | |
| Neptune’s chariot passes by; | 10 |
| Trains of sirens, tritons, Trevi’s jets heal | |
| Then trumpets’ echoes sigh. | |
| |
| Tolling bell and sunset, | |
| Twittering birds and calm; | |
| Medici’s fountain, shimmering net, | 15 |
| Into the night brings balm. | |
