The Courage That My Mother Had

by Edna St. Vincent Millay.

The courage that my mother had
Went with her, and is with her still:
Rock from New England quarried;
Now granite in a granite hill.

The golden brooch my mother wore
She left behind for me to wear;
I have no thing I treasure more:
Yet, it is something I could spare.

Oh, if instead she’d left to me
The thing she took into the grave!—
That courage like a rock, which she
Has no more need of, and I have.

The speaker's mother has turned to stone.

The speaker's mother has passed away.

Sagot :

Answer:

The Speaker's Mother has passed away.

Granite is usually found underground and when corpses begin to decay, they soon become one with the ground. they become "the granite of the granite hill." Also, The term "Had", implies past tense meaning she has it no more in life, but still has it in death. "The courage my mother HAD went with her, and is with her still."
