Poem Paraphrase 2

When Maidens are Young (Behn, 539)

This poem is about when a woman is still a young woman, having suffered no trauma, no heartache, no real life, and paradoxically, still full of life. She sings and dances and plays, before her life becomes hum-drum, hum-drum, hum-drum, after her youth fades. Sad.
