Explain reference to the context: When sone day in distant parts she dwells where what the people be like! I Know not, Will they awaken her on gentle, mellow sounds? Or,will they, I misgive, snatch her sleep away?

Hey!

It means:

For the 'Girl Child' we come across a mother's overwhelming concern for her daughter who is still to become a woman. The mother worries that her little girl who is at present full of life, spontaneity  and happiness will soon be forced by society to follow suffocating customary practices. These customs will require the child to marry and become an obedient ad unquestioning wife and daughter in law who will have no choice but to do what her in-law ask her to do. The mother prays that her daughter will be looked after in her husband's home, which will be in a strange land with unfamiliar customs. This poem grieves over the inescapable loss of the girl's spontaneity, freedom and carefree ways.

Thank you.
