(My answer: The emotion of pleasure is created by the poem's phrases and word choice, such as "a pleasure in the pathless woods," a "society where none intrudes," and "music" in the ocean's roar. The figure of speech comparing the speaker's spirit to a fluttering glow, and images such as "a sound which makes us linger," enhance this feeling of nostalgic regret.
