By William Wordsworth　　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！　　她居住在白鸽泉水的旁边，　　无人来往的路径通往四面；　　一位姑娘不曾受人称赞，　　也不曾受过别人的爱怜。　　苔藓石旁的一株紫罗兰，　　半藏着没有被人发现！　　美丽得如同天上的星点，　　一颗唯一的星清辉闪闪。　　她生无人知，死也无人唁，　　不知她何时去了人间；　　但她安睡在梦中，哦可怜，　　对于我呵是个地异天变。　　注：这首诗是华兹华斯描写苏格兰山地和湖区农家少女的《露茜组诗》（Lucy Poems）中的第一首。本诗包括三节四行诗，大抵采用抑扬格，各节韵式为abab.　　Untrodden：人迹罕至的　　the springs of Dove：鸽泉　　Fair：美丽的　　ceased to be：死亡、死去
