The poem presents the poet as a sensitive person who is quite affectionate towards her mother and Is deeply attached to her. She loves her ‘sweet face and notes the changes In It as she advances In age. She remembers all the Incidents connected with her life Including her laughter on looking at the photograph. She finds it hard to bear her death. The pangs of separation Stun her to speechlessness.
She has a friendly temperament and free mixing nature. She has great affection or her two girl cousins and goes with them for a sea holiday where they put on quaint dresses. lier laughter on seeing the dresses In the snap shows her fine temperament and good humour.
