How will nature keep Lucy out of evil
Answers
Explanation:
The poem opens by noting how Lucy "grew in sun and shower." That is to say she is like a flower, given nutrients by the sun and water. The personified Nature claims that she will "take" the child (Lucy) and make her a lady. This is to be understood as Nature adopting Lucy.

Explanation:
Wordsworth had his passion for Nature in his blood. To him nothing in Nature was trivial or common place. If Wordsworth has a favorite subject it was Nature and when he treated of man it was essentially Hathy in relation to Nature. It was the love of nature that led him to the love of man. Nature of course may dominate, but the “still sad music of humanity” is never ignored in his poetry.
We have five Lucy Poems; all of which are written about a young girl, Lucy. The identity of Lucy has never been satisfactorily established in these poems. Whoever Lucy may be, she stands in a special kind of relationship to Nature. She is very nearly one with the moon, with “untrodden ways”, with bowers and green fields, with mute insensate things, “with rocks, stones and trees”.
To Wordsworth, Nature was a living power. Nature for him was not a spectacle but a power which could and did operate upon him and the passions presented by him. Nature has the power to mould one’s mind and spirit. In the poem “Strange Fits of Passion Have I Known” the moon operates upon him and moulds his mind and spirit mysteriously. The poet tells us that he used to visit Lucy’s cottage every evening, looking at the moon shining over the wide meadow. First, the moon renders him with a pleasant dreaming mood, but the setting of the moon fills his mind with apprehension and fear that Lucy might have died.
Again, in the poem, “Three Years She Grew in Sun and Shower” the poet shows Nature to be acting as a living power on Lucy. Nature adopts Lucy as her own child when the child is only three years old. Various natural objects such as the clouds, the willow trees, the rivulets, even the storm contribute something to mould her form and her character. Nature, we learn will act both as an “impulse and as a law” to the child –
“Myself will to my darling be
Both law and impulse”
It will be a force to enkindle and restrain. It will arouse and stimulate in Lucy righteous ways and noble desires. It will also curb any evil propensities. Lucy, as she grows up in the company of Nature, will imbibe all the beauty of Nature which will be reflected in her figure, in her thoughts, feelings and aspirations.
Wordsworth believed that the company of Nature gives joy to the human heart. Nature has the power to console mankind. Various natural objects while in company of Nature, fills one’s mind with joy and then he or she can see the heaven before him/her. The poet at the time of his visit to Lucy’s cottage and looked fixedly at the moon and this filled his heart with joy. For a while he left this realistic world and went to the world of dream. Again, in the poem “I travelled Among Unknown Men” the company of natural objects gives pleasure to the poet. He finds joy among the mountains of England. So he is reluctant to leave England again. The poet says –
“Among thy mountains did I feel
The joy of my desire.”
Wordsworth perceived the mother like influence of Nature on man; and considered Nature to be men’s best guide and teacher. Nature adopts Lucy as her own child to bring up her in her own lap.
“This Child I to myself and I will take,
she shall be mine, and I will make;
a Lady of my own.”
Nature wants to bring up Lucy in the righteous ways. She will act to the child both as “an impulse and a law”. Nature will show her the right path of life and give her proper education. It wil also drive away an kind of evil propensities from Lucy’s mind.
Wordsworth’s poetry of Man and Nature is peopled by solitary figures. He wanted to represent his solitary figures with special relation to Nature. For example, about Lucy he writes:
“She dwelt among untrodden ways,
Beside the springs of Dove Maid whom there were none to praise
And very few to love.”
Lucy lived unknown in the countryside of England like a violet half hidden by a moss covered stone but fair as a star when only one is shining in the sky. There was only one is shining in the sky. There was none to praise her and very few to love her.
Lucy’s solitariness arouses in us a wave of sympathy for her. Wordsworth’s solitary figures have a special significance. They offer an insight into the eternal faith of life. They arouse in us a sense of our capacity for endurance. For Wordsworth to call a thing lovely and solitary is to “open a bright and solemn vista into infinity.” The solitary figures and things impress us with their inner strength, moral dignity and endurance.
Wordsworth’s solitary figure is not in a conflict with Nature. For example, Nature adopts Lucy as her own child when the child is three years old. Then all the objects of Nature help her to grow into a young maiden by silent sympathy. Nature looks after her growth in body and mind as an overseeing power. The motions of the storm lend their force to her bodily strength. The stars of midnight lend their brightness to her eyes and the rivulets lend their way ward movement to her manner of walking.
