1. The speaker's poet's self-worth and self-image dies in shame before their sight.
2. The speaker wants to live her life simple and straight.
3. To make her life simple and straight, the first step she takes is taking off her adornments and downsizing her accessories and such. In stanza one it states, "My song has put off her adornments, she has no pride of dress and decoration," which means she doesn't care what she wears, or what she has anymore. The second step she took was to cut cords with people of a different social group. The speaker says, "Ornaments would mar out union; they would come between thee and me," which means that the accessories impairs their social group. The issue of what she wore comes between her and her social class.
