Poems You Ought to Know

LUCY. BY WILLIAM WORDSWORTH.

Reading edition

She dwelt among the untrodden ways Beside the springs of Dove; A maid whom there were none to praise, And very few to love.

A violet by a mossy stone Half hidden from the eye! Fair as a star, when only one Is shining in the sky.

She lived unknown and few could know When Lucy ceased to be; But she is in her grave, and, O, The difference to me!

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
