What is Lucy's song by Charles Dickens about?

Answer 1

Lucy's song is about lasting scars. It is suggested that Lucy is deceased, as the wind "gently blows/ As if to soothe her in her sleep!" Although sleep being related to death is merely a conjecture, it is evident that the narrator is experiencing loss or perhaps regret when analysing the last four lines. It is a poem of beauty and sadness, about mourning the death of someone dear.

Answer 2

"Lucy's Song" is a poem written by Charles Dickens about the character Lucy in his novel "The Pickwick Papers." The poem describes Lucy as a beautiful and innocent young girl who is admired by those around her for her purity and virtue.
