In sound’s more gentle graces
Many failed with noises stifled, stark
But you’re a jaguar in a cello
Your voice sultry, dangerous, dark
And oh, how it paces
My heart to quaken, quivering
For it’s only you, sweet fellow
Who leaves me shaken, shivering

Like others, “a jaguar in a cello” stood out for me. Deep, but mellow, exotic, and dangerous. I can see why that would make the narrator shiver!
Exactly! Thank you.

Thank you.
