Can anyone help me with the analysis of PERFECT WOMAN by William Wordsworth?

Perfect Woman



SHE was a phantom of delight



When first she gleam'd upon my sight;



A lovely apparition, sent



To be a moment's ornament;



Her eyes as stars of twilight fair;



Like twilight's, too, her dusky hair;



But all things else about her drawn



From May-time and the cheerful dawn;



A dancing shape, an image gay,



To haunt, to startle, and waylay.



I saw her upon nearer view,



A Spirit, yet a Woman too!



Her household motions light and free,



And steps of virgin liberty;



A countenance in which did meet



Sweet records, promises as sweet;



A creature not too bright or good



For human nature's daily food;



For transient sorrows, simple wiles,



Praise, blame, love, kisses, tears, and smiles.



And now I see with eye serene



The very pulse of the machine;



A being breathing thoughtful breath,



A traveller between life and death;



The reason firm, the temperate will,



Endurance, foresight, strength, and skill;



A perfect Woman, nobly plann'd,



To warn, to comfort, and command;



And yet a Spirit still, and bright



With something of angelic light.



William Wordsworth



Can anyone help me with the analysis of PERFECT WOMAN by William Wordsworth?

She is beautiful, has gorgeous hair, and beautiful eyes and moves with grace, even when moving about the house. She has a sweet voice, she is simple, and yet has all the emotions. She is thoughtful with every breath, that you want to protect her. She is a living angel.
