Poems (Mary Coleridge)/Poem 99

​
XCIX VENETA
Wind and waters ring the bells That rang for them of high degreeTrumpets 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.
