Detailed explanation-1: -And gradually light returns to the street, A whistle blows, the ball is out of sight. In these lines, the poet says that the boy’s eyes have become filled with an awful sadness, but that behind all the grief, he is learning an important lesson. He is learning about the loss of things one considers precious.
Detailed explanation-2: -A poem’s core concept is the subject of the poem, or ‘what it’s about’ if you like. While many shy away from poetry being ‘about’ something, at the end of the day, as it was written, the poet had something in mind, and that something, whatever it was or may have been, is the central concept.
Detailed explanation-3: -This poem is about losing something that you love, and learning to grow up. It is about a little boy, who, for the first time in his young life, is learning what it is like to experience grief at the loss of a much beloved possession – his ball.
Detailed explanation-4: -In the poem, ‘money is external’ means that money can only buy all worldly or materialistic things. The poet wants to say that it cannot buy emotions, attachment, love, childhood etc. Once these things are lost, they are lost forever and they never come back.
