This poem is about a girl who lives in a town - Carolanti, where it is a sin to sing. But when she falls in love with a man of words, she begins to sing her interpretation of what he writes. But when her beloved fails to reciprocate her love, she gives up on all human emotions. Though a change of events calls her back to her purpose in this world, which was to sing. Henceforth, she begins a rebellion which was long needed in this town of Carolanti. Though her end is probably not the perfect one you are hoping for, its worth giving a shot!
