The late winter's moon is dim & dull and hence does not arouse any emotions within the eyes of the beholder. It seems so lifeless that it feels sad to keep looking at it. The poet's mother was in a similar pale and dull state that the poet compares her to the late winter's moon.
The comparison was made to highlight the mother's aging and waning vitality, similar to the late winter's moon which is fading away. It signifies the passing of time and the melancholy associated with growing old.
stanzas is the part of poetry that can be compared to paragraphs.
