Wandered-This word is described as experiencing new and enriching values that will take you. It either tackles the wonders of being physical and mentally in peace with yourself.

Cloud-This word is meant to be another description for being "Alone". The writer wants the reader to experience, That solitude is something that is beautiful because you realize a lot things and you will love yourself more.

Explanation: i hope this help :)

Answer 2

solitude-isolation

jocund-happy

Isolation, while being the closest synonym to solitude, has a negative connotation. As if the writer didn't choose to be alone in bliss, but were rather trapped where they were- alone.

Happy is a commonly used word. It makes the writer/author seem elementary in their writing, which wouldn't fit in this poem as it's a high level poem that can be used for scholarly analysis.
