The speaker in this poem is, to use a Victorian expression, a “fallen woman”, that is, a prostitute. She regards herself as a fool to have lost her virginity and reputation.

And wake when night is chilly
Beneath the comfortless cold moon;
A fool to pluck my rose too soon,

And sun-warmed sweet to-morrow:--
Stripped bare of hope and every thing,
No more to laugh, no more to sing,
I sit alone with sorrow.
