The speaker keeps repeating a bold request: "Unclothe me." It sounds like an invitation to physical intimacy, but the poem is also about being exposed. The speaker wants to be taken to a place of deep passion, where restraint no longer rules, and where a nervous ecstasy can break through. At the same time, there is hesitation. Words like "nervous" and the moment when "assurance leaves her" suggest someone who is thrilled and unsure at once.
The final couplet turns everything around. Now the speaker says "clothe me" and asks to be parted from "her fashion," because feeling restricted keeps real passion out of reach. The poem seems to end in conflict, wanting freedom and closeness but also wanting protection. The mood is breathless, intimate, and a little anxious, like someone building up courage and then pulling back at the last moment. The steady rhyme gives it a controlled shape that quietly mirrors that tension.
