She Dwelt among the Untrodden Ways

        by 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!
