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

⁠ Half-hidden from the eye!

—Fair as a star, when only one
  ⁠Is shining in the sky.
⁠Is shining in the sky.


She lived unknown, and few could know

Line 42: Line 39:
But she is in her Grave, and, oh,
But she is in her Grave, and, oh,
⁠ The difference to me!
⁠ The difference to me!

Poems Volume I (1815) by William Wordsworth

She dwelt among the untrodden ways

VIII.

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!
