Here you will find the Poem The Water Nymphs of poet Ellis Parker Butler
They hide in the brook when I seek to draw nearer, Laughing amain when I feign to depart; Often I hear them, now faint and now clearer? Innocent bold or so sweetly discreet. Are they Nymphs of the Stream at their playing Or but the brook I mistook for a voice? Little care I; for, despite harsh Time?s flaying, Brook voice or Nymph voice still makes me rejoice.
