Oft I had heard of Lucy Gray	A
And when I cross'd the Wild	B
I chanc'd to see at break of day	A
The solitary Child	B
	-
No Mate no comrade Lucy knew	C
She dwelt on a wild Moor	D
The sweetest Thing that ever grew	C
Beside a human door	E
	-
You yet may spy the Fawn at play	A
The Hare upon the Green	F
But the sweet face of Lucy Gray	A
Will never more be seen	F
	-
To night will be a stormy night	G
You to the Town must go	H
And take a lantern Child to light	G
Your Mother thro' the snow	H
	-
That Father will I gladly do	C
'Tis scarcely afternoon	I
The Minster clock has just struck two	C
And yonder is the Moon	I
	-
At this the Father rais'd his hook	J
And snapp'd a faggot band	K
He plied his work and Lucy took	J
The lantern in her hand	K
	-
Not blither is the mountain roe	H
With many a wanton stroke	L
Her feet disperse the powd'ry snow	H
That rises up like smoke	L
	-
The storm came on before its time	M
She wander'd up and down	N
And many a hill did Lucy climb	M
But never reach'd the Town	N
	-
The wretched Parents all that night	G
Went shouting far and wide	O
But there was neither sound nor sight	G
To serve them for a guide	O
	-
At day break on a hill they stood	P
That overlook'd the Moor	D
And thence they saw the Bridge of Wood	P
A furlong from their door	E
	-
And now they homeward turn'd and cry'd	P
In Heaven we all shall meet	P
When in the snow the Mother spied	P
The print of Lucy's feet	P
	-
Then downward from the steep hill's edge	Q
They track'd the footmarks small	R
And through the broken hawthorn hedge	Q
And by the long stone wall	R
	-
And then an open field they cross'd	P
The marks were still the same	S
They track'd them on nor ever lost	P
And to the Bridge they came	S
	-
They follow'd from the snowy bank	T
The footmarks one by one	U
Into the middle of the plank	T
And further there were none	U
	-
Yet some maintain that to this day	P
She is a living Child	P
That you may see sweet Lucy Gray	P
Upon the lonesome Wild	P
	-
O'er rough and smooth she trips along	V
And never looks behind	P
And sings a solitary song	V
That whistles in the wind	P
