Veneta

C. Stanford

Wind and waters ring the bells

That rang for them of high degree

Trumpets are the sounding shells

In the city under the sea.

Where a Queen was wont to hide

Her outwearied majesty,

Swim the fishes open-eyed

In the city under the sea.

Many a street lies broad and fair,

Many a palace fair and free,

Neither a man nor woman there,

In the city under the sea.
