Shapes rhomboidal, perchance rhombohedral—who knows?

Puce and mustard-tinted—delicate,

Oh, most delicate the mustard!—

And russet, cadaverous pink,

They mingle, compaginate,

And their voices mingle,

They call me out of the frame,

They call,

Thinly and crazily,

Canal, canal, canal—slimy, crawly-crawly water!
