Question

How does Wordworth convey the quality of sweetness of the Reaper song

Answer 1

The nightingale and the cuckoo are known worldwide to be the birds with the sweetest sounds. Wordsworth brings out the sweetness in the song sung by the solitary reaper by comparing it to the tones of the nightingale and the cuckoo.

He says that the reaper sang so sweetly that it surpassed the chants that the nightingale sang to entertain the weary travellers. Even the voice of the cuckoo during the spring season was not as thrilling.
