English poem
She Dwelt Among The Untrodden Ways
Composed 1799.--Published 1800
One of the "Poems founded on the Affections." In the edition of 1800 it is entitled 'Song'.--Ed.
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!
