Respighi's Rome Part 1.

Goldfinch60



The children laugh and play,

Singing songs, playing soldiers

In and around  the pines

That grow in the Borghese Gardens.

Such enjoyment and fun

That can transform you into thoughts,

Thoughts of the Fountain of Valle Giulia.

Dawn breaking through the dark of night,

The cattle walking slowly by the water

Towards the Chapel, so deserted ,

But always having the Pines,

The Pines for friends

Always there, looking over, protecting,

Protecting all below them
