Oft had I heard of Lucy Gray$$$ <br>And when I crossed the Wild$$$ <br>I chanced to see at break of day <br>The solitary Child. <br>No Mate$$$ no comrade Lucy knew; <br>She dwelt on a wide Moor$$$ <br>-The sweetest Thing that ever grew <br>Beside a human door! <br>You yet may spy the Fawn at play$$$ <br>The Hare upon the Green; <br>But the sweet face of Lucy Gray <br>Will never more be seen.

A slumber did my spirit seal;<br>I had no human fears:<br>She seemed a thing that could not feel<br>The touch of earthly years. <br>No motion has she now$$$ no force;<br>She neither hears nor sees;<br>Rolled round in earth's diurnal course<br>With rocks$$$ and stones$$$ and trees.

Here must thou be$$$ O man$$$<br>Strength to thyself no helper hast thou here <br>Here keepest thou thy individual state:<br>No other can divide with thee this work$$$<br>No secondary hand can intervene<br>To fashion this ability. 'Tis thine$$$<br>The prime and vital principle is thine<br>In the recesses of thy nature$$$ far<br>From any reach of outward fellowship$$$<br>Else 'tis not thine at all.
