I used to be like Hercules, greatly important
I was in charge of the water
the whole city would have died without me
they would have greatly suffered, worse that a plague
but as my need was no longer wanted
I slowly was abandoned
and as my roof began to weigh
my walls fell like apples from trees
I was abandoned and had no use
until the Historical Society came my way
they turned me into a museum
and foreigners love my company
Now I have a beautiful garden that will forever stay
I am not a pump house, but a mother of the city
and I will always love this place
