Stanza 3
She
is rather insignificant for people. Nobody notices her when she is living and very few know her death. But for me it is quite different and her death makes me very sad.

她住在人迹罕至的地 圣洁的小溪在身边流 没有谁把这少女赞颂 少有人为她挂肚牵肠

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!
a) Gazing (photographic description) on common people


A Father--for he bore that sacred name;-Him saw I, sitting in an open square, Upon a corner-stone of that low wall, Wherein were fixed the iron pales that fenced A spacious grass-plot; there, in silence, sate This One Man, with a sickly babe outstretched Upon his knee, whom he had thither brought For sunshine, and to breathe the fresher air. Of those who passed, and me who looked at him, He took no heed; but in his brawny arms (The Artificer was to the elbow bare, And from his work this moment had been stolen) He held the child, and, bending over it, As if he were afraid both of the sun And of the air, which he had come to seek, Eyed the poor babe with love unutterable. (The Prelude, Vol.7-602-618)
paradox: violet, star living death, cruel kindness Parting is such sweet sorrow. A damned saint, an honourable villain! (W ·Shakespeare: Romeo and Juliet) “可怜身上衣正单，心忧炭贱愿天寒。” 白居易 ：《卖炭翁》 springs of Dove: suggesting peacefulness and beauty
