Detailed explanation-1: -The boy loses the ball. The ball is related to his INNOCENCE which cannot be bought back!
Detailed explanation-2: -What is the boy now, who has lost his ball. Merrily over-there it is in the water! In a world of possessions.
Detailed explanation-3: -The boy was playing with his ball. The ball bounced and it went down the street. From the street the ball fell into the water. This is how the boy lost this ball.
Detailed explanation-4: -The poet suggests that from the loss of the ball, the boy is learning how to stand up in a world of possessions where he will lose things, will buy some more to replace the ones lost, but would never be able to buy back the thing that he had lost. He is sensing his first responsibility as he has lost the ball.
Detailed explanation-5: -The boy has lost his ball. It has fallen down into the harbour. It will not be found back again. However, through the metaphor of the lost ball, the poet wants to highlight a bigger loss.
