Eugene Field - To The Fountain Of BandusiaEugene Field - To The Fountain Of Bandusia
Work rating: Low


O fountain of Bandusia!   Whence crystal waters flow, With garlands gay and wine I`ll pay   The sacrifice I owe; A sportive kid with budding horns   I have, whose crimson blood Anon shall dye and sanctify   Thy cool and babbling flood. O fountain of Bandusia!   The Dog-star`s hateful spell No evil brings into the springs   That from thy bosom well; Here oxen, wearied by the plow,   The roving cattle here Hasten in quest of certain rest,   And quaff thy gracious cheer. O fountain of Bandusia!   Ennobled shalt thou be, For I shall sing the joys that spring   Beneath yon ilex-tree. Yes, fountain of Bandusia,   Posterity shall know The cooling brooks that from thy nooks   Singing and dancing go.
