Question

Explain the striking picture of a girl solitary reaper

Answer 1

The solitary reaper that the poet saw while on his evening walk was working alone in the highland meadows. She was reaping a crop and also singing all by herself.  She was so much engrossed in her work that she could not sense that the poet was silently watching and admiring her melodious song. The melody of her voice was sweeter than the imaginary nightingale that sang sweetly in an Arabian night story. Her voice was much more mellifluous than the warbling of a cuckoo that sang on the serene islands of Hebrides. Since the poet did not understand the language she was singing in, he conjectured she was singing a sad song. The poet kept listening to her song, and finally resumed his walk, carrying the sweet memories about the experience with him.
