What does this stanza mean? Will mark a brainliest

My heart aches, and a drowsy numbness pains

My sense, as though of hemlock I had drunk,

Or emptied some dull opiate to the drains

One minute past, and Lethe-wards had sunk:

'Tis not through envy of thy happy lot,

this stanza suggests that the writer feels numb or hurt as they describe their pain and emptiness in first person (eg: my heart aches)

they may not have any physical sensations as they have "drowsy numbness pain" which could also suggest that they feel extremely drained and tired.
