The excerpt from the end of the poem that suggests that Imogen has reconciled herself to her situation in life is She was not born to be so much as that For she was born to be Aunt Imogen Now she could make stars out where once had palled.

In this excerpt Imogen accepts that she will always be an aunt, not a mother. She realizes she it is high time she lifted the cloth (pall) that had once not allowed to see the brightness of her situation (stars).
