When the children enter the lantern's orbit, the poet looks at their faces. They are happy with a coin to spend. They are contented what they have. They see melon, guava, and other fruits and their mouths begin to water. They pick up a fruit and break it open. The juice comes out and they relish every drop of it. The juice also sticks to their fingers and cheeks. They are busy in their enjoyment while the poet is standing, watching them. They do not notice the presence of the poet.
The poem delivers a thoughtful message to the reader. The poet has beautifully described the fact that joy has nothing to do with money. No one can buy joys. They are present everywhere. We just have to overlook anxieties and worries. The life becomes pleasant.
