The poem is about Marie Antoinette and the French Revolution. Rosetti portrays the feelings of the princess in the lead up to the revolution of the peasants of France. The princess says of her want to help the people- but she doesn't really understand because she has led such a sheltered life. I think you either feel sympathy for her or think she is pathetic- it's all talk and no action. Rosetti portrays the feelings of the princess- how she did not want to be born into this life- she had no choice & how she thinks her life is perhaps worse than that of the peasants because they are free, whereas she is trapped in the palace.

Christina Rossetti, a British poet, did not go to college because in the 1800's, women were allowed to attend grammer school, but that's as far as they could go because they were thought to be unintelligent. Instead, Christina Rossetti was home schooled by her mother.
