The young gypsy girl is alive in the beginning. The color green shifts from
life to death from the beginning to the ending of the poem. Every night she
waits for him, never knowing if he will return alive. This night, he is late,
and hearing all the commotion in the countryside, she believes he has been
killed, so she kills herself.....
