I	A
STRANGE fits of passion have I known	B
And I will dare to tell	C
But in the lover's ear alone	B
What once to me befell	C
	-
When she I loved look'd every day	D
Fresh as a rose in June	E
I to her cottage bent my way	D
Beneath an evening moon	E
	-
Upon the moon I fix'd my eye	A
All over the wide lea	F
With quickening pace my horse drew nigh	A
Those paths so dear to me	F
	-
And now we reach'd the orchard plot	G
And as we climb'd the hill	H
The sinking moon to Lucy's cot	G
Came near and nearer still	H
	-
In one of those sweet dreams I slept	I
Kind Nature's gentlest boon	E
And all the while my eyes I kept	I
On the descending moon	E
	-
My horse moved on hoof after hoof	J
He raised and never stopp'd	K
When down behind the cottage roof	J
At once the bright moon dropp'd	K
	-
What fond and wayward thoughts will slide	L
Into a lover's head	M
'O mercy ' to myself I cried	L
'If Lucy should be dead '	-
	-
II	A
	-
HE dwelt among the untrodden ways	N
Beside the springs of Dove	O
A Maid whom there were none to praise	N
And very few to love	O
	-
A violet by a mossy stone	B
Half hidden from the eye	A
Fair as a star when only one	P
Is shining in the sky	A
	-
She lived unknown and few could know	Q
When Lucy ceased to be	F
But she is in her grave and oh	Q
The difference to me	F
	-
III	A
	-
TRAVELL'D among unknown men	R
In lands beyond the sea	F
Nor England did I know till then	R
What love I bore to thee	F
	-
'Tis past that melancholy dream	S
Nor will I quit thy shore	T
A second time for still I seem	S
To love thee more and more	T
	-
Among the mountains did I feel	U
The joy of my desire	V
And she I cherish'd turn'd her wheel	U
Beside an English fire	V
	-
Thy mornings show'd thy nights conceal'd	W
The bowers where Lucy play'd	X
And thine too is the last green field	W
That Lucy's eyes survey'd	X
	-
IV	O
	-
HREE years she grew in sun and shower	V
Then Nature said 'A lovelier flower	V
On earth was never sown	B
This child I to myself will take	Y
She shall be mine and I will make	Y
A lady of my own	B
	-
'Myself will to my darling be	F
Both law and impulse and with me	F
The girl in rock and plain	Z
In earth and heaven in glade and bower	V
Shall feel an overseeing power	V
To kindle or restrain	Z
	-
'She shall be sportive as the fawn	A2
That wild with glee across the lawn	A2
Or up the mountain springs	B2
And hers shall be the breathing balm	C2
And hers the silence and the calm	C2
Of mute insensate things	B2
	-
'The floating clouds their state shall lend	D2
To her for her the willow bend	D2
Nor shall she fail to see	F
Even in the motions of the storm	E2
Grace that shall mould the maiden's form	E2
By silent sympathy	F
	-
'The stars of midnight shall be dear	F2
To her and she shall lean her ear	G2
In many a secret place	H2
Where rivulets dance their wayward round	I2
And beauty born of murmuring sound	I2
Shall pass into her face	H2
	-
'And vital feelings of delight	J2
Shall rear her form to stately height	J2
Her virgin bosom swell	C
Such thoughts to Lucy I will give	O
While she and I together live	O
Here in this happy dell '	-
	-
Thus Nature spake The work was done	P
How soon my Lucy's race was run	P
She died and left to me	F
This heath this calm and quiet scene	K2
The memory of what has been	L2
And never more will be	F
	-
V	F
	-
SLUMBER did my spirit seal	U
I had no human fears	M2
She seem'd a thing that could not feel	U
The touch of earthly years	M2
	-
No motion has she now no force	N2
She neither hears nor sees	O2
Roll'd round in earth's diurnal course	N2
With rocks and stones and trees	O2
