Answer:

Daughter

Step-by-step explanation:

In the poem Pearl, the main character is mourning the loss of a female relative whom he deeply loved. This is generally considered to be the speaker's daughter. As he falls asleep in a garden, he has a vision of a white maid standing by a river. Initially, he thinks this is his beloved Pearl. However, the maid explains that she is not, but that Pearl is happy and safe. The rest of the poem focuses on a discussion about God's will and the afterlife.
