She Dwelt Among the Untrodden Ways

William Wordsworth

                                     
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!
