In stanza 1, the speaker presents Lucy as a somewhat mysterious figure. She was like “A violet by a mossy stone / Half hidden from the eye!” By comparing Lucy to a flower, the speaker implies she was beautiful. So, one reason for his or her love was Lucy’s beauty.

Wordsworth not only expresses his praise for nature, he also manages to associate it with something hidden behind it. For example, in his “Lucy” poems, Wordsworth makes Lucy’s character clear with the images of roses and other flowers. Lucy’s beauty is likened to flowers which are hidden.

The speaker says that she is “the sweetest thing that ever grew beside a human door”. Now, the readers can understand that Lucy is a sweet, darling child. It seems strange that she did not grow inside that door, since she is a human child. The speaker has already mentioned that “she dwelt among the moor”.

Lucy Gray is a poem by William Wordsworth. William Wordsworth was a famous nature poet. He was born in 1770.

The poem opens by noting how Lucy “grew in sun and shower.” That is to say she is like a flower, given nutrients by the sun and water. The personified Nature claims that she will “take” the child (Lucy) and make her a lady.

‘Strange Fits of Passion Have I Known’ describes the lover making his way to Lucy’s cottage ‘Beneath an evening-moon’. The lover fixes his eyes on the moon, which ‘descended still’, and is in a waking sleep, but suddenly realizes that the moon has gone down behind Lucy’s cottage.

Answer: “A slumber did my spirit seal,” says the poet. That is, a deep sleep ‘closed off ‘ his soul (or mind). The poet is full of grief and regret that he had taken things for granted and did not fear the fact that one day death could separate him from his beloved.

William Wordsworth in his poem “A Slumber did my Spirit Seal” denotes death as “slumber” or deep sleep. He says that in his entire life he was in the state of “slumber” and because of this sleep he was not able to realize that one day death will take away his Lucy from him.

The poet refers to death which is a permanent sleep. The poet did not realize when his beloved Lucy slept forever i.e. she died. She had taken life for granted and realized this harsh truth of life after her death.

Answer. the poet is show that the time will not affect his beloved because she is died now and she will not be affected by any force of nature and time. she will go revolving with trees rocks and nature this was the thinking of the narrator and this is how he was a short that is believed will not be affected by time.
