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!
