Question

a slumber did my spirit seal. what was the poets state of mind when Lucy was alive ​

Answer 1

This is one of William Wordsworth's' Lucy poems.' These poems were devoted to his loved one. The poet refers to the sleep of death. Once Lucy slept forever, the author didn't realize that, i.e. she died. The poet took life for granted, and after her death he realized this harsh truth of life.

Explanation:

• The poet admits that he's slept deeply  (that is his whole life he was in the state of "slumber") as he wasn't aware of life's harsh reality, when Lucy was alive. He took life as a matter of course and never thought death would one day split him from his beloved Lucy. To him she was like a goddess eternal who had been untouched by age and death.
• The poet is full of sorrow and remorse that he took things for granted and that he was not afraid that death would split him one day from his beloved.
• Lucy lay motionless when she died. She cannot hear or see. She was buried beneath the earth and as the Earth rotates she rotates along with the Earth. The poet imagine her to be, after death, where one day she will become connected with a part of the earth's trees, rocks and stones.
