The Lucy poems-III



I travell'd 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 the mountains did I feel 
The joy of my desire; 
And she I cherish'd turn'd her wheel 
Beside an English fire.

 
Thy mornings show'd, thy nights conceal'd, 
The bowers where Lucy play'd; 
And thine too is the last green field 
That Lucy's eyes survey'd.
