A tender shoot leafs rapidly, as warming earth puts forth her
life and gives to sap and lowly type the strength to waken up the
year. I walk beside a limpid pool, whose waters shiver in
spring's warm breeze my eyes downcast if searching there, for
someone or thing that I had lost.

And in my view, so ever shy, and out again if I look up A nymph
of spring appears to me, or so I think - 'tis faint and fast. For
it may be a breath of thee, whom time and tide has sundered long
and stole from my entranced embrace, from loving hold has parted
far.

So I chase the nymph, pursuing thee, I hope to find your laughing
form that thrilled me fully to hold and love, ere you were lost
in worldly time. The hills weren't high, nor rivers deep, my
pulse quickened as I sought the nymph that I mistook for you,
through far meadow and wild wood.

At dark I'd lie and dream again, you precious body hugging mine
smooth cheek to cheek, fair breast to breast, tapered legs all
entwined. In slumber heated passion rose, with love's caress and
soulful kiss Sweet breath fraternize with mine, while scented
hair waft over me.

I wake again, exhausted, yet resolved to hold my current course
to drink in the spring, and seek the nymph who leads, I hope,
into your arms. One day was fair, clouds flying fast above the
pool I caught her there and sang to her a song of love, a song of
loss and wanting still

She listened there beside the pool, and heard my tears, and
closer shyly came to hear. I dared not look her in the face but
sang as though my heart would break. The pond's reflection showed
me now she wandered near to proffer care She reached her hand to
touch me there for comfort - and I caught!

I held her fast and tried to see your face inside that magic form
But twisting she eluded view and cried for help among her race.
They all came round and petitioned me, release our sister, human
here I had not right, or cause, or place, to capture love's
elusive grace.

My yearning heart was torn asunder, my tricks no better than a
man's I felt exposed, my life was shattered by the guile that
captured her. And yet, were I to release the pixie, would I find
more than I had? Or fade to gray as those who linger next to
stones in the cemetery.

And so I asked, no I demanded, pixie aid me, help me find the
love I'd lost and I'd release thee! The buzzing throng agreed at
once. I stood still near her as she chanted, raising I knew not
what spell But aching in my heart of hearts to see where you were
living now

The nymph she grew and visage changed, the hair I recognized at
first then eyes grew bright and form developed into my love I saw
at last. But eyes were sad and seemed deceived, I realize I'd
held her rough and speechless I was sternly censured, only by her
sad, dark look.

I knew now she was meant to be there, human kind could hold her
not I rose and mumbled my regrets then, shuffled off away from
her. I peeked back to her, form was changing, readily back to
pixie life. I knew than I would never taste then, love as we
shared way back then.

And I remembered pixie loving, I remembered nymph ecstasy, the
folly I'd had of wanted to own her, settle down just she and me
Ignore the world, shut out the spring, and feed her on my own
true nature. All human traits, not worthy of the elfin set, I
cried as I left that place.
