Nature
A Wayside Fountain
Translated by Rennell Rodd (1916) · From Love, Worship and Death (1916)
Nature
Rest here beneath the poplars,
When tired with travelling,
And drawing nigh refresh you
With water from our spring.
So may you keep in memory
When under other skies
The fount his father Simus set
By the grave where Gillus lies.
