I got up early so that we could quickly get away

This is very common in verse/poetry.

Frugal = economical, sparing, thrifty.
The last two lines are allegory, symbolical narration.
The meaning is that she needs so little to enjoy a book which can lift her soul. To make her happy, content, satisfied.
Thanks apex.
Can you explain your example?
I don't understand the enjambment in your holiday example as well as in the poem???
