Answer 2

Answer:

This sentence means that the speaker's father in the poem "My father's hands" mends the electric fuse and so the power returns.

Explanation:

- The father repairs the electric fuse and while repairing he must have used torch light.  

- The torch light beam moving around the speaker appears to be like swimming of the light and when the power returns the darkness goes away and the lights come on revealing the wall around the speaker.

- This is meant by the speaker as "can make light swim and walls jump in around me again".

- These lines tells us that the father was a skilled electrician.

Hope this helps.
