The poet acknowledges the depth of the boy's grief and respects his need to process it privately, hence the line "I would not intrude on him." Offering money to buy another ball would not alleviate the boy's sorrow or teach him the deeper lesson of loss. The poet recognizes that this experience is a crucial part of the boy's emotional development, and simply offering a material replacement wouldn't address the profound impact of the loss. 2.
