William Stanley Braithwaite, ed. The Book of Georgian Verse. 1909.
I Travelled among Unknown MenWilliam Wordsworth (17701850)
I
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.
The joy of my desire;
And she I cherished turned her wheel
Beside an English fire.
The bowers where Lucy played;
And thine too is the last green field
That Lucy’s eyes surveyed.
