Yes, the poet thinks that his mind belongs to him all the time. Stanza three of the poem ‘Childhood’ supports this argument.

When did my childhood go?

Was it when I found my mind was really mine,

To use whichever way I choose,

Producing thoughts that were not those of other people

But my own, and mine alone

Was that the day!

According to the stanza he questions himself as to when he lost his childhood. Thinking on a possibility he might have lost it (childhood) when he realized he could use his mind in any way he chose. He realized he could produce his own unique thoughts, totally different from others.

Answer:

No, not at all.

Explanation:

In the beginning he was a child and thus innocent. At that time he had no control over his mind but readily accepted what elders said to him. Nevertheless, when he lost his childhood and realised the true attitude of others and could comprehend things, at that time his mind developed independent thoughts and his mind guided him. Therefore, to be precise, the poet never thought that his mind belonged to him all the time.
