The Water Nymphs
by 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.
