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!
