A. Answer these questions
1. The reaper was cutting and binding stalks of grain in the field. She was singing a sad yet melodious song to herself while working.
2. The speaker seems unsure about whether he wants to stay or move on because he is enraptured by the beauty of the reaper's song. She sings without being conscious of any audience around her.
3. The speaker becomes completely captivated by the beauty of the reaper's song. He compares her song to the calm and soothing notes of a nightingale's song which alleviates the weariness of travellers in the Arabian deserts. Her song echoes in the valley like the song of the cuckoo whose song shatters the silence of the seas in remote areas. He feels that the reaper's song is as beautiful and melodious as the songs of the nightingale and the cuckoo.
4.The speaker is not sure about the theme of the reaper's song because he is not familiar with the language she was singing in. He imagines that the song could be about sad or unfortunate distant events or about ancient battles. The song could also be about the reaper's pain, sorrow or loss from which she is suffering at present.
5.a. The tune and music of the song stayed with him long after he had left the field. The speaker says that he carried the song in his heart even as he climbed the hill till he could hear it no more.
b. Yes, the song affected the speaker greatly. In spite of not being familiar with the language the reaper was singing in, he was deeply affected by the beauty of the song's tune and melody.
B. Think and answer
1. The speaker heard the reaper sing a "melancholy' song as she went about her work in solitude. From the speaker's words, we get a sense that the solitary reaper may either be singing about long forgotten unhappy events or ancient battles. It may also be possible that the singer was experiencing some anguish or distress which she expressed through her song thus haunting the speaker's mind and leaving a long-lasting impact in his heart.
2. The speaker did not want to disturb the solitary reaper for the fear that she would stop singing of perhaps even run away if he went near her. She was not aware of any audience around her and that possibly made her express her thoughts aloud in the form of her melancholy song.
