HEYA!! HERE IS YOUR ANSWER!!
Nature is calm and patient with her children. She is patient with the feeble and the strangest of them all. She does not discriminate among her children. Even her tone of admonition or scolding is mild. Nature is portrayed as caring mother who is devoted to her children and loves every single being that belongs to her without any discrimination. The usage of mother figure for nature is the personification of the motherly characters to Nature itself.
The second stanza brings out the motherly instinct in nature where she restrains her children amidst humans. Nature is present everywhere in the forests and well as hills. The traveler hears denotes humans in general. Humans are also Nature’s children but humans have a tendency to destroy more than Nature. Therefore we see that mother nature is hushing down and restraining the rampant squirrel and the erratic bird so that the humans do not harm them or be enticed by them. Another notion that might be depicted is the fact that travelers are found to explore only the hills and the forests and they are clearly able to witness Nature in all its glory. Therefore, Mother Nature has to ensure that the humans do not do something negatively impact on her children in the name of invention and exploration. The animals are said to have stopped making noise once the humans approached.
In the 3rd stanza the focus is back on Nature where Emily praises the workings of nature and all her aspects. Nature survives through every season and change. The words household and assembly hold strong point because nature is personified as a mother. Therefore like a mother’s assets of household, nature looks after her assembly of children and household of greenery. The last line of the stanza gives a continuation to the next para shifting the setting to end of the day as the sun goes down.
Nature prays and acknowledges the voices of the smallest of creatures inciting the prayer, regardless of how unworthy the creature might seem. It describes nature’s voice flowing between aisles. Aisles are normally in a church, which makes this mother seem like she is faithful to God. Nature’s voice is being described as if praying. She is praying for her children, which are listed below to what humans would usually think as inferior. One of which is an “unworthy flower”. Flowers that are wilted or ugly are seen as even more inferior since this plant is perceived as the most beautiful of all creations. Dickinson stresses on the ugly unworthy flower in order to express the unconditional love of mother nature.
The first line described the night when all her children are asleep. Her children include all the beings of the world. Even when her children are asleep, she has other duties that she needs to take care of. Therefore we see in the next three lines where Nature is going a long way in order to light her lamps for the next day. “Bending from the sky” indicates the setting of the sun. Since the sun is setting she will have to go a long way in order to get the light back for the next day. This stanza picturizes the scene of a day ending and Nature waiting for the next day to start.
The last stanza of the poem brings us to the end of the night where this is a sense of calm before the day begins again and the cycle continues. With all her affection and boundless care, Nature is seen to hush down her children with a finger on her lip and brings silence everywhere. The golden finger indicates the ideal mother who has the golden touch of calming her children instantly.
