She might be delirious or writing about a dream world that she has made up. I am not sure if the actual writer is experiencing these problems or not. The advice or ideas in this poem are definitely strange but the part about "Leave your shoes behind," suggest someone wanting to escape from somewhere. .
She alludes to the Pied Piper of Hamlin in the sentence "Who come from inside the mountains" (pg 864) The use of dramatic monologue in this story throws you off guard, if you don't take in account when and where the author is from and the life she was forced to live.
After reading the receptive reader and doing some research on the author my perception of this poem totally changed. As I read it a second time I realized what the author was trying to say. Kaschnitz was the writer as well as the character of this poem. She was interpreting through very symbolic phrases - for women to stand up. For authors and poets to keep on writing and not be suppressed. She wanted to do something different and didn't want to hide anymore. She wanted the children to be free, but also wanted to make sure that the surroundings they lived in could change at any moment and things could get much worse. They were exiled in Germany, but considering the madman that Hitler was, at anytime could have been considered dangerous to his party and totally done away with.
I feel my response to reading it the second time was much richer. Had a deeper understanding of what this person had to actually deal with. .
Both interpretations are legitimate responses. To a person who has no understanding of Nazi Germany during that time, they would think that this person is out of their mind. Or living in a total fantasy dream world. That this poem is not actually taking a view of a real person but more a fictional one that wants to escape from something. But once you understand the plight of the people who were made to hide their beliefs, to hide away their artistry and conform to the mentality of the Nazi era but still living intellectually within their own realm.
