Answer:
The poem The Orphan Girl by Henry Louis Vivian Derozio is about a young girl whose father died in a war and the mother died in the sorrow of her husband. She is left orphan and the poet is concerned about her future in the cruel world.
The poem consists of two main stanzas having 12 lines each. Expect the first four lines, every two lines rhyme with each other.
The poem begins with a description of the orphan girl. According to the poet, her (orphan girl’s) Her hair was black as a raven’s wings. Raven means crow. Her cheeks were as bright as the tulip flower.
Her voice was as soft as the wind or air in the night which is quite calm and gentle. Her forehead was as bright as the rays of the moon. The beginning is thus quite pleasing but after the fourth line, the poet turns to the dark reality.
The sire (father) of that girl went to war and fought bravely but ultimately lost his life and he knew that before dying. The poet sighs, this is the reward for a brave in this world.
The phrase depicts the cruelty of the world and how it rewards good and bold people. The death of her father was not born by her mother. Rather than living as a widow she also died of a heart attack and the young girl was left without parents.
