Answer 2

The greatest loss is of losing innocence in childhood.

• The poet laments the loss of the innocence he had as a child.  He regarded childhood as an important stage in the growing up process.
• He believed that when he turned twelve, hell and heaven, as he had been told, did not exist. He reasoned through his ideas and came to his own conclusions.
• He lost confidence in people and began to be a bit more cynical.
