Lyrics
By w. wordsworth
I travelled among unknown men In lands beyond the sea; Nor, england did I know till then What love I bore to thee
'Tis past, that melancholy dream! Nor will I quit thy shore A second time; for still I seem To love thee more and more
Among thy mountains did I feel The joy of my desire; And she I cherished turned her wheel Beside an english fire
Thy mornings showed, thy nights concealed The bowers where lucy played; And thine too is the last green field That lucy's eyes surveyed
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
A slumber did my spirit seal; I had no human fears; She seemed a thing that could not feel The touch of earthly years
No motion has she now, no force; She neither hears nor sees; Rolled around in earth's diurnal course With rocks, and stones, and trees
