SHE DWELT AMONG UNTRODDEN WAYS
William Wordsworth

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

A violet by a mosy tone
    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!
