"A poor life this is if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare.
Now come on, what do you think he means?
The meaning should be clear to you from the context of the poem, if you read it, but it is true that “care” has more than one meaning, and that may have confused you. So try this set of definitions here:
noun: care
an object of concern or attention.
plural noun: cares
"the cares of family life"
a feeling of or occasion for anxiety.
"she was driving along without a care in the world"
