She Dwelt Among the Untrodden Ways: Notes and Interpretations
	Notes:  This poem is one of the three reprinted "Lucy poems."  There is no proof that Wordsworth had an actual person in mind when he wrote these poems.  In this poem, Lucy is a person that the narrator loved and thought the world of.  Lucy died basically alone.  Not many people knew her, but the narrator loved her.            STANZA ONE:  This stanza opens up by saying that she walks where no one else does.  It says she was not praised or loved by many.            STANZA TWO:  This stanza is comparing to outstanding things such as "A violet by a mossy stone," or "Fair as a star when only one Is shining in the sky."            STANZA THREE:  In this stanza, Lucy is said to have lived unknown.  Very few people realized that she was dead, but the narrator said "Oh, the difference to me!"  This proved he loved Lucy and that he would miss her.
