Question

When I had laid it on the floor

I went to blow the fire a-flame,

But something rustled on the floor,

And someone called me by my name:

It had become a glimmering girl

With apple blossom in her hair

Who called me by my name and ran

And faded through the brightening air.

—“The Song of Wandering Aengus,”
William Butler Yeats

Answer 1

To me it feels like, this person (the one speaking) went to blow out a fire, than a ghost of a girl appeared right after she did, although it might be someone she (The ghost) once knew, because this girl called the narrator by name. If you think closely about it this girl could also be trying To lead the speaker, somewhere..

I don't fully know,
