About This Quote
The first verse of the song “A statue stands in a shaded place” is about a girl that died young. She was just 14 years old, and she committed suicide. The second verse is about her life as an angel. The statue that she talks about is not really a statue; it is actually a picture of the girl. The little girl's name is Angelina; she was born on February 16, 1726, and she died at 14 years old. The last line of the verse is about her broken heart: “A broken heart that the world forgot.”
