The Divine Comedy

Lucy

I travelled among unknown men
In lands beyond the sea ;
Nor, England did I know till then
What love I bore to thee.
'Tis past, that melancholy dream !
Nor will I quit thy shore
A second time ; for I still seem
To love thee more and more.
Among thy mountains did I feel
The joy of my desire ;
And she I cherished turned her wheel
Beside an English fire.
By mornings showed, by nights concealed
The bowers where Lucy played ;
And thine too is the last green field
That Lucy's eye surveyed.
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
A slumber did my spirit seal ;
I had no human fears.
She seemed a thing that could not feel
The touch of earthly eyes.
No motion has she now, no force ;
She neither hears nor sees ;
Rolled round in earth's diurnal course,
With rocks, and stones, and trees.
