    AMONG THE UNTRODDEN WAYS

    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!
