In “My Father Sits in the Dark,” the speaker says, “But I could not understand it. How could it be restful to sit alone in an uncomfortable chair far into the night, in darkness?” What light does Rita Dove’s poem “Daystar” shed on the father’s perspective?

The light that shed on the father's perspective in Rita Dove's poem "Daystar" with the line "But I could not understand it. How could it be restful to sit alone in an uncomfortable chair far into the night, in darkness?" would be that the speaker's father does not worry about anything when he is alone or in solitude.
