Once you were in a time characterized by loneliness

Now you comprehend what pleasure entails
So now you know what pleasure is

Once you were in time of sadness
Reference to a previous phase of sadness
So now you know what
Reiteration of learning the essence of tenderness from past experiences

Highlighting the lesson learned from sorrow
Once you were in
Referring again to a past period of loneliness
