Ancient Fountain

tj hatton

Ancient fountain
In
The old town
Square
Lovers come
To find you there
They
Throw their coins
And
Hope you'll bless
Their
Inner dreams of happiness
But
How many coins
Neath
Your ripples that shine
Still
Hold a wish
Of
Love divine
Fountain of happiness
And
Sorrow too
Alas
All wishes
Do not come true.
