Question

What is the central idea in this stanza of the poem "Ricuerdo"?

[3] We were very tired, we were very merry- We had gone back and forth all night on the ferry. We hailed, "Good morrow, mother!" to a shawl-covered head, And bought a morning paper, which neither of us read; And she wept, "God bless you!" for the apples and pears, And we gave her all our money but our subway fares.
