In this last stanza from the poem, the author describes his mood after the encounter with daffodils. He is relaxed as he lies on the couch and at this very moment he is not affected by his vacant or pensive mood. Solitude in the lines doesn't describe human solitude, it is rather the solitude of spiritual world and therefore it is blissful. Indeed, the author later shows that he is pleased with the daffodils that this experience put a joy into his heart. The tone of this stanza is peaceful and content.
