Analysis of The departed soul
The departed soul.
She was a sales girl,
selling match boxes,
as she was very poor
wore poor dresses.
She couldn't go back
until she could sell a single match box
as her father was very rigid person
and she couldn't coax.
It was winter.
Bitterly cold ceased the city
but the insecured girl was on the road.
It was reality.
The little girl was also ceased by cold.
She sat In huddle
at the corner of two houses
Keeping besides the match boxes bundle.
Suddenly she found,
a shooting star in the sky.
Once she came to know from her granny,
very soon a soul would fly.
Next morning it was seen,
the girl was sitting at the same place.
Alas! she was lifeless.
Her soul departed to ever lasting peace.
