She's strong in her faith, firm in her belief!
Explanation:
In the third stanza, the speaker describes that the woman is strong in her faith and beliefs. The line may reveal two things: it shows that the woman has a strong mind. She is not easily wavered or influenced. She is steadfast in her convictions and beliefs.
Secondly, the speaker might also be suggesting that the woman upholds her traditions and faith. The advancement of science and technology and the presence of higher education had made people view religion and gods differently. The faith in a mystical power known as god is not as strong as before. However, the speaker says that the woman knows how to balance advancement and tradition.
The speaker further explains that the secret to everything is "persistence". The woman stands firm, not because she has an easy life. Instead, she knows how to be persistent. She keeps trying, despite the failure and obstacles she keeps facing. The words "sighs", "groans", and "moans" signify the hurdles and disappointments she constantly faces. Regardless of those sighs, groans, and moans, she remains strong in her faith and firm in her belief.
