e solitary ReaperBehold her, single in the fleld,Yon solitary Highland LasstReaping and singing by herselfStop here, or gently pass!Alone she cuts and binds the grain,And sings a melancholy strainO listen! for the Vale profoundIs overflowing with the sound.No Nightingale did ever chauntMore welcome notes to weary bandsOf travellers in some shady haunt,Among Arabian sands:A voice so thrilling ne'er was heardIn spring-time from the Cuckoo-birdBreaking the silence of the seasAmong the farthest Hebrides.Will no one tell me what she sings?Perhaps the plaintive numbers flowFor old, unhappy, far-off thingsAnd battles long ago:Or is it some more humble layFamiliar matter of to-day?Some natural sorrow, loss, or pain,That has been, and may be agairn?Whate'er the theme, the Maiden sangAs if her song could have no ending;I saw her singing at her workAnd o'er the sickle bending;I listened, motionless and still;And, as I mounted up the hill,İThe music in my heart I bore,Long after it was heard no more.William Wordsworth |
| Answer» <p>Question you have submitted is incomplete. Please post a complete question.</p> <p>what is your question</p> <p>tell the summary of this poem</p> <p>"The Solitary Reaper" opens with the speaker directing our attention to a solitary reaper (someone who cuts down crops—like corn or rye—by hand). She's singing in a field somewhere. She's a highland lass, and she's singing while she works. It's kind of a sad song, but it's definitely more thrilling than a cuckoo's song in the Hebrides (sure, what isn't?) and different than anything you might hear from a nightingale. The speaker loves the song, but he can't understand any of it. He wonders if she's singing about old battles and other sad stuff from forever ago, or if she's singing about something more humble. Either way, he notes that she's singing as if her song will never end. He watches, enraptured, not moving at all. At the end he quietly walks away, keeping the woman's music in his heart for a long time after.</p> <p>what is the attitude William Wadsworth carries towards the solitary reaper?Give a reasoned answer.</p> <p>Who is the poem addressing when he says, 'stop here or gently pass'?</p> | |
