Mock Orange- WOORAM

In the poem, the author complains about brightness of the world during the night.
I come up with two different images from the fourth stanza. First, the fourth stanza seems to describe herself in a bed hearing a noise coming from outside. Especially from “I hear the question and pursuing answer fused in one sound”, I can feel that noise is coming to her ears even though she did not want to. And she blames the moon because it carries the noise into her room. Second, she may suffer from a problem and keep thinking about it. She keeps thinking about the problem and suddenly realizes there is moonlight. She simply blames the moonlight to make herself feel better.
At the last stanza, she describes the moonlight as an odor. She again blames the moon because it disturbs her rest. Furthermore, she is not content of her night life because there is moonlight.
She wants to enjoy the darkness but the moon disturbs her. So she calls the moon “Mock Orange”. I have believe that she love loneliness and darkness.
