The Wish Was You and I

A monument to precious arts, a masterpiece you are With imposing high Baroque columns regally looking down Upon the dream of sculptors and vision of the Roman era Evoking ancient memoirs from grandeur of renaissance. Tickling your marble stature, foaming water giggles down As you empower Oceanus on a chariot lead by Tritons Beaming your glamorous sight on authentic ornate art Dazzling decorative architecture for enchanted crowds. When street winds bellow in, shimmering bright light-beams In your stare you hold strangers, as they sing your praises. Enhancing theme, Trevi Fountain, you arouse playful gleams Flaunting your smiles upon glittering green water streams. Splendor of Neptune emanates from your renown beauty Granting wishes of the sensuous amorous sensibilities-- Seeking sea-God's blessings, they toss in two lucky coins And in reply you echo their vibes: the wish was you and I.

The fountain is famous for its Baroque architecture and decorative ornate art. The center piece is the Greek sea God Oceanus (representing the sea God Neptune), riding his chariot pulled by two sea horses and accompanied by two Tritons. Throwing two coins in the fountain symbolizes romance. One coin assures return trip to Rome. Three coins symbolize wedding bells.
