My soul is the Princess Despondency, as a Poet once called her. She is hurt, and pale, and gloomy, like the tragic sobs of the wind!

And to the softest moonlight, which yearns, she begins to speak of so many dead things! The moonlight listens to my soul, kneeling, and goes on to trace, fantastic and frozen, the shadow of a cross at your door...
