Ophelie by Rimbaud

I couldn't find an English version that I liked, so I translated it myself. I don't speak much French, but let me know what you think of it.

I
On the still dark water beneath the sleeping stars,
She floats white like a majestic lily,
She floats slowly, blanketed in her veils,
-in the depths of the wood you hear her death.
