Emily Dickinson - She slept beneath a tree

She slept beneath a tree --
Remembered but by me.
I touched her Cradle mute --
She recognized the foot --
Put on her carmine suit
And see!

I think it refers to a butterfly emerging from a cacoon.

I dont really understand this poem. If someone would help me understand it, that would be great. Someone that easily understands her poetry. I really have to read it over and over again before i catch anything. Thanks.
