Lucy III

By William Wordsworth

I travelld 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 still I seem To love thee more and more. Among thy mountains did I feel The joy of my desire; And she I cherishd turnd her wheel Beside an English fire. Thy mornings showed, thy nights conceald, The bowers where Lucy played; And thine too is the last green field That Lucys eyes surveyd.
