She Dwelt among the Untrodden WaysWilliam Wordsworth · 1800

She Dwelt among the Untrodden Ways

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, oh,

The difference to me!
