Rh :The canals are deep
 * Where the strange ships sleep

Far from the land of their birth;
 * To quench the fire
 * Of thy least desire

They have come from the ends of the earth.
 * The sunsets drown
 * Peaceful town

And meadow, and stagnant stream
 * In bistre and gold,
 * And the world enfold

In a warm and luminous dream.

There all is beauty and symmetry, Pleasure and calm and luxury.
