The poet is in a state of the shock. The death of the loved child has given him deep grief the death has left the poet numb.But there is a sense of relief also. That child is now beyond any earthly fears. She has become a part of the whole Cosmos.

Answer :
Although the death of his loved one has left the poet paralyzed and without any human fears, his reaction cannot be termed ‘bitter grief’ as towards the end of the poem it has been observed that the poet feels her presence in the earth’s nature i.e. rolled round in earth’s diurnal course with rocks, stones and trees. However, it can also not be said that the poet is experiencing great peace of mind. Thus, the poet’s feelings seem to be uncertain in this situation.
