THE WATER-NYMPH OF THE ROCK.

[The French is by Bosquillon, which I translated as under, in a

beautiful Swedish island in the Baltic, as I sat by the side of a fine

clear stream of rock-water.]

_ORIGINAL_.

La nymphe qui donne de cette eau

Au plus creux de rocher se cache,

Suivez un example si beau:

Donnez sans vouloir qu’on le sache.

_TRANSLATION_.

The nymph, to whom this stream you owe,

Conceals herself in caves of stone:

Like her your benefits bestow;

Give, without wishing to be known.
