Explanation:

In that stanza, the poet saw her father in her dream standing on the shore and wearing knickers and a cap. She said that the dream of him was a wound that even morning could not heal.

The words from that stanza show that the poet missed her father greatly and that it was the dream that reminded her of, or emphasized the absence of her father. Dreams most times remind us of events that have happened a long time ago or of people whom we have lost in death.
