Analysis of Melancholy Girl
She is sorrow.
Tears always fill her eyes.
If you ought to be near her,
You would find despair and anguish.
You might find hatred and loathing.
She hides behind a melancholy sheet,
Only by herself.
She talks with herself
And swears she is talking to somebody else.
But if you were to look in on her.
She would be unaccompanied.
She never comes out.
Not even to eat,
Or to clean.
She sits by herself in this depressing room,
In this morose house,
On this miserable hill.
She is a very melancholy girl.
