XVIII. The Great Mystery
Lucy

By William Wordsworth (1770–1850)


A SLUMBER did my spirit seal;
I had no human fears:
She seem’d a thing that could not feel
The touch of earthly years.

No motion has she now, no force;	5
She neither hears nor sees;
Roll’d round in earth’s diurnal course,
With rocks, and stones, and trees.
