Context: A student who writes poems regularly, is praised for his talent.

"It is wonderful! May the poetic genius grow higher and higher!
I wish and pray that poetry gives the much needed solace and comfort in your life!"

It sounds as if the student is in mental pain and has many personal problems. Is that true?

No,sir.
The student was feeling sad that he had not done well in the listening test.

I agree with Mr. M. The way I read the original was that this person had some serious problems and the poetry was his way of addressing them. I would never have guessed that you mean something like "Cheer up - one setback on one test is small compared to your talent as a poet."
