Strange fits of passion have I knownA
And I will dare to tellB
But in the lover's ear aloneA
What once to me befellB
-
When she I loved looked every dayC
Fresh as a rose in JuneD
I to her cottage bent my wayC
Beneath an evening moonD
-
Upon the moon I fixed my eyeE
All over the wide leaF
With quickening pace my horse drew nighE
Those paths so dear to meF
-
And now we reached the orchard plotG
And as we climbed the hillH
The sinking moon to Lucy's cotG
Came near and nearer stillH
-
In one of those sweet dreams I sleptI
Kind Nature's gentlest boonD
And all the while my eye I keptI
On the descending moonD
-
My horse moved on hoof after hoofJ
He raised and never stoppedK
When down behind the cottage roofJ
At once the bright moon droppedK
-
What fond and wayward thoughts will slideL
Into a Lover's headM
'O mercy ' to myself I criedL
'If Lucy hould be dead '-

William Wordsworth
