Strange fits of passion have i known:
And i will dare to tell,
But in the lovers ear alone,
What once to me befell.
When she i loved looked every day,
Fresh as a rose in june,
I to her cottege bent my way,
Beneath an evening-moon.
Upon the moon i fixed my eye,
All over the wide lea;
With quicking pace my horse drew high
Those paths so dear to me.
And now we reached the orchard-plot;
And, as we climbed the hill,
The sinking moon to lucky`s cot
Come near, And nearer still.
In one of those sweet dreams i slept,e
Kind Natures gentlest boon!
and all the while my eyes i kept
On the descending moon.
My house moved on; hoof after hoof
He raised, and never stopped;
when down behind the cottage roof,
At once, the bright moon dropped.
What fond and wayward thoughts will slide
Into a lovers head!
''O mercy!'' to my self I cried,
''If Lucy should be dead!''
Theme of the poem
In this poem the poet tells us about the strong feelings for his beloved. In the poem
the speaker describes a night time ride to his beloved lacys cottage. The speaker begins by saying
that he has experienced strange fits for passion and will relate them only to a person who himself
is a lover. lacy the girl the poet adored, was fresh as a rose in june . One night he journeyed to her cottage under the moon. He says that he would like to share his experience of love only with those who themselves were once in love. The poet argues that he would not tell these things to a man who him self was not in love
because such a person will not be able to understand his feelings. The poet tells us that his beloved was
stunning. He says that when he was in love with her she was charming and fresh like a rose in the month of june. She lived a bit far away so the poet went to her hut on the horse back under the evening moon.
He says that when he was on the way to meet her, he kept looking at the moon as he was worried that he would not be able to travel further if the moon sank. His horse was galloping on the grass land. at each
step he was getting closer to the horse of his beloved. After some time the poet and his horse reached a plot where some fruit trees grew. As the poet and his horse climbed the hill he looked at the moon which
was getting closer to lacys cottage. The moon was about to set. on the way his horse did not stop for a moment . when he and his horse were just near the roof of his beloveds hut the moon was about to sink. He says that sometimes naughty and strange feeling churn up in a lovers heart . he starts to imagine strange things which he might be far-fetched and unreal. such types of feeling stormed into the poets mind
He said to himself that lacy might be dead which was not true. But poet says that a lovers mind can imagine anything.
