On the primary layer, the poem explores the newness of an experience that the speaker is encountering. The speaker does not wish to feel overwhelmed, due to which they urge Eden, or that experience, to approach her gradually and slowly. On the secondary layer, the poem symbolises the speaker’s first experience of a romantic, and sexually intimate relationship. The poem uses empathetic commands, vivid imagery, and symbols such as Eden and Jessamines to convey the delicate and transformative nature of the experience. Ultimately, the poem captures a moment of spiritual and sensual bliss that is going to be experienced by the speaker.
