    This poem is written by the poet in the memory of his own childhood which is no more. Each stanza beings with the line “When did my childhood go?” which depicts that the poet is regretting over the loss of his childhood because it was full of innocence. There was no hypocrisy and of course imaginations (Heaven and Hell) instead of dark reality of life. Hence the title of this poem is apt.
