Answer 2

In the poem "To the cuckoo", the poet William Wordsworth addresses it to a "blithe newcomer" and "a wandering voice".

Explanation:  

• The poet feels that the sweet voice of the cuckoo is enough for the poet to get rid of all his sorrow and makes him fresh and relieved from the daily chores.  

• He feels that the song relieves stress of the poet. So he call him a "blithe newcomer".  

• He refers the cuckoo as wandering because while lying down on the grass the poet sometimes feel that the cuckoo is flying away from him and sometimes it is coming nearer to him.  

• Since the bird is always moving it's voice is referred to as the "wandering voice".
