Lament for Lucy

Objectives To examine a new poem (Hurray ).

To F.L.I.R.T. with said poem.

Lament for Lucy / She dwelt among the untrodden ways

She dwelt among the untrodden waysBeside the springs of Dove,

A Maid whom there were none to praiseAnd very few to love:

A violet by a mossy stoneHalf hidden from the eye!

Fair as a star, when only oneIs shining in the sky.

She lived unknown, and few could knowWhen Lucy ceased to be;

But she is in her grave, and, oh,The difference to me!

By William Wordsworth

She lived unknown, and few could knowWhen Lucy ceased to be;

But she is in her grave, and, oh,The difference to me!
