What does the first stanza mean?
The time you won your town the race
We chaired you through the market-place;
Man and boy stood cheering by,
And home we brought you shoulder-high.
It talks about how it is good for an athlete to die young.
It talks about the athlete's funeral
It says that it's good that he died so he wouldn't see his records get broken and won't hear the boos of the crowd or long for the cheers after they have gone.
It talks about the celebration of success

What does the third and fourth stanzas mean?
Smart lad, to slip betimes away
From fields where glory does not stay,
And early though the laurel grows
It withers quicker than the rose.
Eyes the shady night has shut
Cannot see the record cut,
And silence sounds no worse than cheers
After earth has stopped the ears:
It talks about an athlete who was celebrated when they won.
It talks about how it inexpensive it is for an athlete to die young.
It talks about the athlete's funeral.
It says that it's good that he died so he wouldn't see his records get broken and won't hear the boos of the crowd or long for the cheers after they have gone.
