A young man just out of college records his thoughts in verse as he visits Italy, the land of his ancestors for the first time:"Where Bernini and nature, with lira from Este, created a palace of fountains and flowers.." But the reality of time and its inevitable mark on all is contemplated in this short, poignant work for chorus. " For springs run dry, and so do summers."
