Answer:
A slumber did my spirit seal,” says the poet. That is, a deep sleep 'closed off ' his soul (or mind). ... The poet is full of grief and regret that he had taken things for granted and did not fear the fact that one day death could separate him from his beloved.
Explanation:
A slumber did my spirit seal—
I had no human fears.
She seemed a thing that could not feel
The touch of earthly years.---
The poet’s soul had drifted into deep sleep as he did not have any realization of the truth. He had taken life for granted and had never thought that one day death would take Lucy away from him. When she was taken away, he could not bear the loss.
No motion has she now, no force—
She neither hears nor sees,
Rolled round in earth’s diurnal course
With rocks and stones and trees.------
The poet accepts the truth that Lucy is no more. She is motionless, lifeless. She cannot see nor hear. She has been buried in the earth. She will assimilate into the earth and is rotating along with the earth. One day she will become one with the rocks, stones and trees that are a part of the Earth.
