1. What is the kind of pain and ache that
the poet feels?
Answer:
The poet feels the agony of being separated from her mother, who is now
sixty-six years old. The prospect of not being able to see her mother next time
she comes for a visit, or ever again, is excruciatingly painful to her.
2. Why are the young trees described as
‘sprinting’?
Answer:
The poet and her mother are in a car, and she notices the trees racing
backwards when she looks out the window. In contrast to her frail and elderly
mother, they appear to be full of youthful vigour.
3. Why has the poet brought in the image
of the merry children ‘spilling out of their homes?
Answer:
The joyful youngsters who have come out of their homes to play are full of
energy and strength, signifying life's natural flow. The poet's mother, on the
other hand, is fragile and elderly. As she dozes next to the poet in the
automobile, her expression is sad.
4. Why has the mother been compared to
the ‘late winter’s moon’?
Answer:
Mother's face appears cloudy and dull like the late winter's moon, which is feeble
and pale and not as dazzling and shiny as the summer's moon.
5. What do the parting words of the poet
and her smile signify?
Answer:
The poet's parting words and grin express hope and assurance for their next
reunion. Despite the fact that she is about to leave her parents' home and her
mother is on the edge of passing away, the poet concludes the poem on an
optimistic note, expressing her hope to see her mother again on her next visit.
