"Sadness and boredom were more bearable than the effort of living a normal life.

"She dried her tears, and they did smileTo see her cheeks' returning glow;Nor did discern how all the whileThat full heart throbbed to overflow.With that sweet look and lively tone,And bright eye shining all the day,They could not guess, at midnight loneHow she would weep the time away."

"But there are some wounds that can never be healed."
