Default Is this possible? Non-electric trickle fountain based on siphon idea

Hi there! Has anyone ever heard of using a siphon to make a trickle
fountain? I haven't worked much with siphons and don't have a very good
grasp on physics but I thought with the right setup one might be able
to make a trickle fountain with a tall erect siphon,... kind of like
this Ascii illustration below, where the X's are the tubing and the
oo's is the water...? My main idea is to make a small fountain in the
backyard without using electricity...
