Answer:
The childish longing referred to here is the desire of the roadside stand owner to earn money, which remains unfulfilled. The poet says he feels the sorrow of the owner of the stand. He can even read their thoughts. His thoughts are all about earning money from the affluent passers-by, who do not stop at his stand.
Explanation:
The poor owner of the stand wanted to earn money from the passers by selling a few of the indigenous berries and vegetables. He expected the rich city people travelling in cars to stop at their stand and buy those things from them. However the people in car were too occupied to notice the stand.
The few passers by who happened to see the roadside stand, complained about it as an ugly spot in a beautiful scenery of that place. They even found fault with the North and South sign on the signboard hung outside the stand.
