Years ago, we spent countless hours in English class trying to understand the essence of William Wordsworth's Lucy Gray. Without getting into who or how it was taught, reading, re-reading it, and trying to interpret its various nuances made me feel we were trying to over-interpret it. Seeing things in context that the poet may not have thought of. We will never know it's indeed so. Same was the case with P.B. Shelly's Ozymandias.
Wordsworth's or P.B. Shelly's may not be so cryptic as to embody concealed or hidden meaning, and hence the need for multiple interpretations. But to my young mind, it may have appeared so.
