\in which the burthen of the mystery, / in which the heavy and the weary
weight of all this unintelligible world, / is lightened:\

\faint i, nor mourn nor murmur, other gifts / have followed; for such
loss, i would believe, / abundant recompence\
(from \tintern abbey\ by william wordsworth)
\hold off! unhand me, grey - beard loon!\
(from \the rime of the ancient mariner\ by samuel taylor coleridge)

or yet beside the rill,
nor up the lawn, nor at the wood was he;\
(from \elegy written in a country churchyard\ by thomas gray)
\where was heard the mingled measure

Explanation:

1. For "burthen", the context links it to the "heavy and the weary weight" of the world, so it matches the definition of meaning/weight/significance.
2. "Recompence" is used in the context of gifts following loss, so it means reward.
3. "Loon" is an insult directed at a person, so it refers to a silly/foolish person.
4. "Rill" is described as a water feature beside a lawn/wood, so it means a small stream.
5. "Measure" refers to something heard in a poetic context, so it means the rhythm of poetry/music.

Answer:

1. "In which the burthen of the mystery..." → meaning, weight, or significance
2. "Faint I, nor mourn nor murmur, other gifts / Have followed; for such loss, I would believe, / Abundant recompence" → reward
3. "Hold off! unhand me, grey-beard loon!" → a silly or foolish person
4. "nor yet beside the rill, Nor up the lawn, nor at the wood was he;" → a small stream
5. "Where was heard the mingled measure" → the rhythm of a piece of poetry or music
