Answer:  Here in the poem The Orphan Girl the poet Derozio has presented a woman in this line.

That women had a Happy family once. Husband served in army. When the battle started at the very beginning, he joined the battle. He was a brave soldier. But at this time, he could not endure the shock of Battle. The scar of war led him to the world of eternal sleep. As the guerdon of work, he received a 'glorious grave'. That is why the woman was under such distress.

That woman as a result of her husband's death became a widow and to carry on that widow's roll it was a very difficult for her. Even she could not tolerate the sorrow. Soon she also died leaving her infant daughter parent-less.
