Lucy Poems
Lucy Poems
The poems are about a muse: love, or object of affection, inspiration loved from afar and the poet's/speaker dealing with the death of that
person (Lucy). Compounding that grief is that Lucy was the inspiration for
the poet's creativity. So, the mood is elegiac, melancholy. Other themes
and moods are nostalgia, imagination and memory which dominate a lot
of Wordsworth's poetry.
