Very lovely. It reminded me a bit of the Lady of Shalott at the end. I like the simplicity of it, the imagery and the pace.

You wrote this like, four years ago? Why are you so good? lol! I really like it, it's pretty and peaceful, and completely different from your work now! I liked the line "weeping tears of orange-gold sap" especially.
Hmph. I would be proud to write this now...four years ago...grr :)

This is a really cool poem, but do water nymphs have leafy hair? I would have thought that that was a dryad (wood nymph). Oh well, it was great anyway. Forgive my nit-picky perfectionalist ways, I have trouble containing myself. Oh, the voice in my head says hi. ;)
