She Dwelt Among the Untrodden Ways
Lyrical Ballads, 1800
She dwelt among the untrodden waysBeside the springs of Dove,A Maid whom there were none to praise,And very few to love.
A Violet by a mossy stoneHalf-hidden from the eye!—Fair as a star, when only oneIs shining in the sky.
She lived unknown, and few could knowWhen Lucy ceased to be;But she is in her Grave, and, oh,The difference to me!
