      Following are the main themes:

      1. Death – The main fear which stirs this poem is that of death and seeing the same in the poet’s mother.
      2. Parents– The love and attachment which we have with our parents is also the major thematic concern of the poem.
      3. Life– In between the thoughts of death, the poet is attending the beauty of life too. The poem shows us the interweaving of these two aspects.
