The poem through the owner of roadside stand reflects upon the life of people thatnare deprived and mindlessly ignored by the city bred people. The owner wants to be accepted by the city people even if they dont buy anything from his stand. 

Further the poet also points

The little old house...........with a mind ahead

• In this stanza the poet describe about the new shed that had been set up by the occupants of old littke house on the edge or side or side of the road that was busy with the traffic. The owner of the roadside stand await if someone would stop their car to buy something from this stand. He wasn't begging infact he waw trying to earn some money by selling fruit and vegetables. These people or this family is deprived and need money that have been circulating in the city with the help of which city people are flourishing. 

Or if ever aside........with silver warts.

•  In this stanza, the poet uses polished traffic to describe the people are living in the city and even when they passing through the countryside their mnd are still occupied with their profession and city life. Further he describes that even if for moment they forgot about their city life and have a good look at the landscape all they do is criticize and judge. They simply get mad about the presence of shed their or the old rustic signs despite looking at the barries and the golden squash which is out for sale.

Or beauty rest........ Keeping from us

•  Further the poet continues by speaking on the behalf of the owner of the roadside stand that if they have the money with them why they act so mean towards these people and hold it so dear to them. These peopla are hurt because they hoped that the city dwellers will buy their products which will generate income foe their family and they will be able to live happily, simply remains a trusting sorrow as no body bothers about their sale and instead they want that the stand should be removed as it spils the beauty of the landscape. Thw owner of the roadside stand thought that once the family has enough money they can live the life that was promised to them by the political parties.

It is in the news.......the ancient way.

Sometimes I feel......where it ws bound.

And another to ask gently outbof my pain......

• The poet want to uolift countryside poor people from their existing pain and therfore he empathises with them because  he knows that the even just enough to meet daily meet. He thinks tht people should be put out of pain nd harfship of existence. He then writes that he imagines how would be react when the nest day anyone would go and gently wake him up and put him out of the pain that he feels for the people. But this might only be the temporary relief for him just like it would be for the farmers or these poor peasants.

Any beautiful object is always treasured in our mind because it provides us eternal and everlasting joy. The happiness that a beautiful object provides,never fades into nothingness but multiples manifold whenever it returns to our mind. In the poem, the poet says thet a thing of beauty is a joy forever a joy in the admist of disease, suffering and disappointment of life. The object of beauty makes a lasting impression on us and gives us joy even when they are not present before our eyes. The joy that they give never fades into nothingness, but increases whenever they flash across our minds..
