Answer» In the first stanza, the poet’s mother is shown as a twelve-year-old girl with a pretty and smiling face. She went paddling with her two cousins. This phase is before the poet’s birth. The second phase describes the middle-aged mother laughing at her own snapshot. The third phase describes the chilling pall of silence that the death of the mother has left in the life of the poet.
