I knew birds would never sing again.
I knew brooks would dry up.
Although new walls had been built,
I knew they would fall down.
The leaping phantoms
that could only be figments of my imagination
kept screaming hollow echoes through the woods,
and I knew I would stay in this rocky place
kept screaming hollow echoes through the woods,
and I knew I would stay in this rocky place
forever.

Full of emotion. Well done for getting all the words into something so tight.
The speaker is apparently very persistent. Not stupid, I think, but persistent in putting up with a less-than-ideal situation, perhaps because she knows, deep in her soul, that she has been called to this place.
