by Vyacheslav Ivanovich Ivanov (1866 - 1949)

Фонтан Треви
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Весть мощных вод и в веяньи прохлады
Послышится, и в их растущем реве.
Иди на гул: раздвинутся громады,
Сверкнет царица водометов, Треви.

Сребром с палат посыплются каскады;
Морские кони прянут в светлом гневе;
Из скал богини выйдут, гостье рады,
И сам Нептун навстречу Влаге-Деве.

О, сколько раз, беглец невольный Рима,
С молитвой о возврате в час потребный
Я за плечо бросал в тебя монеты!

Свершались договорные обеты:
Счастливого, как днесь, фонтан волшебный,
Ты возвращал святыням пилигрима.
