Do you think that because a woman
does not come in contact with
men, the desire for love never
burns in her heart? do you think
the darling young girl who loves
solitary rambles & gazes by night
at the stars has no aspirations,
no yearnings after some life
vague tho' her thoughts of it may be?
Do you think when Spring and
Sunshine come waking all nature
to quicken life, the hearts which
fate has left to solitude do
not cry aloud for their share
of joy & love; do not agonisingly
rebel against their forlorn &
barren doom – – " This time last
time how happy I was – now I
look upon my life as for doom
