Sunbeams flood golden the fisherman´s net Waves charm sofetly the old man´s boat A steady change of flood and tide The secrets of sea covered in deep blue water
Alone now - seeing his final days come Scared when a wave rocks his wodden coffin Keeping the secret inside his heart Remorseless filling his mind when he reflects
Once the sea gave him a beautiful bride Adorable blue eyes united what´s above and below Graceful being - half girl and half fish Becoming the lover of this fearless strong man
Encounters with her in secrecy were full of joy At nights physical differences disappeared Her promise of eternal love to her groom Two souls entwined on the fisherman´s boat
A visionary glooming shadow is all that remained Daughter of Neptun sank drowned to dark ground Killed by a vicious sea-snakes attack Sent by her father - cruel, cold and mean man.

About this poem:
A nymph appears in different forms and also has different names. It´s physical body is half woman - half fish. It´s also spiritual, envoking feelings and sharing them, but unable to have a human soul before marriage with the one who is faithful with her.
