You know the title of the poem,  so you know that the "season" mentioned in the first line of that stanza is spring.  The "bright forms" in line 2 are probably spring flowers and blossoms, although there is a mention of colorful birds later in the poem. So these lines mean, roughly, "I love a spring day when the woods are full of new blossoms and there are no dark clouds in the sky".
