Despite her desolate surroundings and the weather, Lucy actually frolics along the mountain through the snow (26). She is unknowingly skipping to her death, never to see her mother and father ever again. The storm surprised her, and she couldn't escape it (29). Lucy would never reach the town, and how ironic is it that her best friend, nature, would be the death of her? At this point in the poem, it becomes evident that her death will be as mysterious to the people who had observed her before, as her existence.
