Oft I had heard of Lucy Gray	A
And when I crossed the wild	B
I chanced to see at break of day	A
The solitary child	B
	-
No mate no comrade Lucy knew	C
She dwelt on a wide 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 through 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 raised his hook	J
And snapped 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 powdery snow	H
That rises up like smoke	L
	-
The storm came on before its time	M
She wandered up and down	N
And many a hill did Lucy climb	M
But never reached 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 overlooked the moor	D
And thence they saw the bridge of wood	P
A furlong from their door	E
	-
They wept and turning homeward cried	O
In heaven we all shall meet	Q
When in the snow the mother spied	O
The print of Lucy's feet	Q
	-
Then downwards from the steep hill's edge	R
They tracked the footmarks small	S
And through the broken hawthorn hedge	R
And by the long stone wall	S
	-
And then an open field they crossed	T
The marks were still the same	U
They tracked them on nor ever lost	T
And to the bridge they came	U
	-
They followed from the snowy bank	V
Those footmarks one by one	W
Into the middle of the plank	V
And further there were none	W
	-
Yet some maintain that to this day	A
She is a living child	B
That you may see sweet Lucy Gray	A
Upon the lonesome wild	B
	-
O'er rough and smooth she trips along	X
And never looks behind	Y
And sings a solitary song	X
That whistles in the wind	Y
