Divine Comedy, The - Lucy Lyrics
I travelled among unknown men
In lands beyond the sea
Nor, England did I know till then
What love I bore to thee
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 cherished turned her wheel
Beside an English fire
Thy mornings showed, thy nights concealed
And thine too is the last green field
That Lucy's eyes surveyed
She dwelt among the untrodden ways
Beside the springs of Dove
A maid whom there were none to praise
And very few to love
A violet by a mossy stone
Half hidden from the eye
Fair as a star, when only one
Is shining in the sky
She lived unknown, and few could know
When Lucy ceased to be
But she is in her grave and, oh
The difference to me
A slumber did my spirit seal
I had no human fears
She seemed a thing that could not feel
The touch of earthly years
No motion has she now, no force
She neither hears nor sees
Rolled around in earth's diurnal course
With rocks, and stones, and trees

Divine Comedy, The Lucy Comments
I studied Wordsworths Lucy poems in school. I dont really like poetry but the Lucy poems blew me away. To hear one of them composed to music by The Divine Comedy was a dream. I stopped dead in my tracks when i heard it by chance.Stunningly beautiful but as usual Hannon adds his own throw away or pay attention detail in the cows. Magnificent.
thanks, not a dry eye in the house. i live in bulgaria now , it's great here, but...
