Poe addresses this poem to his mother, calling her by the name he has long used for her. He feels the term "mother" holds special meaning in heaven. While his birth mother died when he was young, this woman became a mother to both him and his late wife Virginia, making her even dearer than the mother he knew. He fills his heart with her since she was installed there by Death in releasing Virginia's spirit.
