brooklet

And the somewhat low-lying foot-path had been converted into a running brooklet, so that Maia and her escort had to make their way sideways over moss and the roots of trees.

From 'Clear the Track' A Story of To-day by Elisabeth Buerstenbinder (AKA E. Werner)

I look till the fields and brooklet Swim like a vision by, And a room in a lowly dwelling Lies clear before my eye.

From Poetical Works of William Cullen Bryant Household Edition by Richard Henry Stoddard

From Highways and Byways in Cambridge and Ely by Edward Conybeare

But the humblest brooklet, if it be pure and limpid, mirrors the sky as faithfully as the mightiest river, or the depths of the ocean itself.

From Autobiographical Reminiscences with Family Letters and Notes on Music by Charles Gounod

Then—for thy shelter from life's sultrier suns, The oak of strength I set o'er joy that runs With brooklet glee from winds that grieve above.
