The Fountain At Stanway
From the tranquility of the lake,
Basking on its terrace
In rare July heat,
A spring water jet gushed
Vertically, like a geyser,
The Cotswold silence to break…
From the calm of the lake,
Rising to its zenith
In searing summer heat,
The white water column rushed
Upwards, like a firework,
Its power and impression to make…
From three hundred feet above the lake,
Spilling its silver stars
In baking Stanway heat,
The cold water spray hushed
Downwards, like a cascade,
Streams on sloping lawns to fake…

The remarkable Stanway House fountain…
And no water supplies were affected!
