While sleeping, the daughter captures the ‘whole moon’, the depiction of ‘whole’ suggesting the extreme capabilities of the daughter to gather the representation of joy. The ‘moon’ is an image that provides comfort to Duffy in other poems, such as within Sub, therefore being used here to further the happiness Duffy draws from her daughter. The image of the moon also links to the idea of femininity, adding to the idea of her daughter being a goddess linked with the divine feminine. This presents a beautifully authentic and true image of Duffy's relationship with her daughter and with motherhood, which enhances her own femininity and shows the feminine connection between mother and daughter. The daughter’s importance is paramount within the poem, with Duffy returning every image to the daughter’s presence. Indeed, the short sentence structure of the first line of stanza six serves to emphasise the title, ‘Light Gatherer’. The title assigned to her daughter is grammatically isolated, the first words of a new stanza and followed by a caesura, ensuring that it stands out as a bold title, the joyful power the daughter holds being incredible to Duffy. This poem idolizes the daughter, presenting the beautiful side of motherhood. The fact the child ‘fell from a star’ depicts an almost angelic quality, ‘star’ playing into the semantics of light while also bearing religious connotations.The protection suggested by ‘into my lap’ insinuates that Duffy will protect her child. The use of ‘soft lamp’ furthers this idea, all the light within the poem being delicate and ‘soft’, rather than abrasive and expository.
