The title introduces a “she” who lives in a place not much attended. It also creates some expectations about her identity, about the place she lives, about the reason she stays there and why people don’t go there.

The text is arranged into three quatrains of different length lines. Due to the layout this text might be a poetic text.

In the first stanza the poet introduces the girl who used to live near Dove’s springs, a river. Very few people did known and loved her. Between the third and fourth lines there is an enjambment.

In the second stanza he introduces girl’s beauty as a beauty that is difficult to see. He exposes that using the metaphor of a violet that is difficult to see near a mossy stone. He also uses the simile of a star’s fairness in a sky with only one star. He tries to highlight the peculiarity of her beauty. In this simile there’s the alliteration of letter “s”.

In the last stanza the poet expresses girl’s death and that only few people knew that. Her name was Lucy and her death creates pain in the author.

The poet employs a formal language to expose his thoughts. To increase fluency and reader’s attention the author makes use of some devices such as enjambments.
