她住在杳無人跡的地方，
在達夫河泉旁邊，
這位姑娘沒有誰來頌揚，
亦鮮見人來愛憐：

一朵在長滿青苔的石子旁
半遮半現的紫羅蘭！
美若一顆星，在天上發光
獨自地熠熠閃亮。

露茜默默無聞，亦少人知悉
她何時不在人世；
哦！但如今她在墳裡；
苦痛只有我知！

"She Dwelt Among the Untrodden Ways"

-- by William Wordsworth

(Published in Lyrical Ballads (2nd Ed.), 1800)

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!
