I am a wonderful help to women,
The hope of something to come. I harm
No citizen except my slayer.
Rooted I stand on a high bed.
I am shaggy below. Sometimes the beautiful
Peasant's daughter, an eager-armed,
Proud woman grabs my body,
Rushes my red skin, holds me hard,
Claims my head. The curly-haired
Woman who catches me fast will feel
Our meeting. Her eye will be wet.
Who am I?
I guess you are a
Red onion
Because:
You shouldn't look at the lines, but you should read the sentences.

Food? Food!
I harm no citizen except my slayer
Unless it's a poisoned onion it won't harm anyone except the one who's slaying it
Rooted I stand on a high bed
Here the word bed means garden bed or a flowerbed and onions have roots
I am shaggy below
Yes you are!

A peasant probably has a bed(or a few) of onions, so his daughter will grab one from there and peel it

I guess if you throw an onion really fast into somebody, he/she will certainly feel it :)
Her eye will be wet
When you cut the onion normally your eyes start crying. Or if you throw an onion reeeeeeally hard into somebody it might hurt enough for him/her to start crying :)
It is
Red rose

When a women receives a red rose, the hope is the one who gave it to her is her prince charming.

The one who cutted the rose and removed all the thorns is the only harmed by it
Rooted I stand on a high bed.
Rooted obviously, the high bed is the rest of the roses?
I am shaggy below.
Full of leafs, which are removed

Peasant's daughters aren't princesses, they don't receive roses from princes so.. they have to take them by themselves.

Impulsive woman who takes the rose before the thorns are removed. Don't know why curly...

You brush your hair before a date or whenever you want to be beautiful.
No citizen except my slayer.
Normally it is not harmful, but if you hit it on the pointy ends...

A round brush is often kept on the bathroom shelf, upright in a glas or so.

Brushes made of (horse)hair are quite shaggy.
