Require some effort on your part, no more,

For comprehension; then the water’s clear

And you will see, dimpling in hyaline

Fish, oval, strange, glitter as rubied wine

In crystal goblets; fish with spotted gills,

Great flower-fish like open daffodils,

Pale fish that float with mellow, morbid eyes,

Dark fish that feed on wings of dragon flies,

Fish fulvid and fugacious, hovering

Amongst the silver cress with carmine wing,
