She dwelt among th' 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!
