Context:
I sit on the grass and gaze upon the sky and dream of the sudden splendour of thy coming —all the lights ablaze, golden pennons flying over thy car, and they at the roadside standing agape, when they see thee come down from thy seat to raise me from the dust, and set at thy side this ragged beggar girl a-tremble with shame and pride, like a creeper in a summer breeze
No; it is appropriate for that particular writing style.
It means "all trembling"
The writing style is archaic, its actually from Gitanjali by Rabindranath Tagore. Why do you never identify the source of your quotations, oristarA?

It was just from a dictionary, not the original work. So no source.

There's no need to identify the source.
If Ori did that it would certainly cut down on the number of idiots proclaiming "it's confusing/bad/poorly written/..." but it would also remove a measure of hilarity and why do that?
It's important for Ori and other EFLs to know that there are many English native speakers who know diddly squat about how the English language works.
