a question about (she dwelt) poem

[Anonymous]

May you explain for me the theme(s) of (she dwelt) by William Wordsworth?


SHE DWELT AMONG THE UNTRODDEN WAYS

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!

It's about a beautiful woman in a remote area, who was seen by few, but whose death affected the wrtiter greatly. ;-)

I would say that the theme is the writer's grief for a lost love. In this case the love was lost to death. ("Love" can be a noun as well as a verb.)
