Such incredible imagery. But I believe it to be a lighthearted, childlike poem (seeing the world through a child's eyes but being able to articulate in fashion, sort of stepping into a child's world with an brain.) She is one of the best poets ever next to Robert Frost (in my mind) . From what I know of her she was very shy and reclusive, never married. She could not handle being around people. Her sister did a great salute to the world by publishing her poems posthumously.
