Question

Short and easy summary of solitary reaper by william wordsworth

Answer 1

In "The Solitary Reaper," a young Highland girl is reaping alone and singing to herself while she works. The poet asks us to listen carefully, because the whole valley is filled to overflowing with the sound of her singing. We are invited to either stop and listen to her sad song or to gently pass by, so as not to disturb her.He goes on to say that no nightingale ever sang a more welcoming song to bands of tired wanderers in an Arabian desert. The poet asserts that the beauty of the girl's singing exceeds that of the cuckoo bird's in the spring-time. Her singing is also the only thing which breaks the silence of the seas among the Hebride islands. The Hebrides are a group of islands (consisting of the Inner and Outer Hebrides)The poet begs someone to tell him what the girl is singing about. Receiving no answer, he muses that, perhaps, she is singing about old sorrows, or battles of long ago, or more mundane concerns, or even some suffering which she has endured and may endure again.

He eventually resigns himself to the fact that he may never find out the theme of her never-ending song. Nevertheless, he asserts that her singing has so captured his imagination that he will bear it in his heart long after it is heard no more

Answer 2

$\large {\bold {THE \: SOLITARY \: REAPER}}$

This poem is written by "William Wordsworth". In the poem, one day poet was travelling through the hilly region of Scotland. He saw a young girl. She was alone and working in the field. She was singing a song. The poet was fascinated by listening her song.

The young girl was reaping the group and was singing a song. She was singing a song full of sorrow. Her voice had depth and it was overflowing in the entire Valley.

The voice of nightingale is very sweet and its sweet song refresh the tired travellers of Arabian desert. The voice of solitary reaper is much sweeter than that of the Nightingale.

The poet saw a girl when he was travelling through the hilly region of Scotland. The girl was working in the field and was singing a sad song. Her voice was so sweet and it was seeming sweeter than the voice of any Cuckoo and was breaking the silence of the remote seas.

The poet was unable to understand the song and he did not know the language of that country. But he imagined that the girl was singing an old, unhappy song about some battles.

The poet is making assumptions about the song, the girl was singing. He again thinks that the song may be a simple song denoting to any family matter of present or it may be the song about some natural hazard, sorrow, loss or pain.

The poet says that whatever was the theme of the song which was being sung by the young girl but it seemed that the song had no ending.

The girl was singing the song without interrupting and she was working in the field with her sickle.

The poet was fascinated by the girls sweet song and her voice. Sohe stood still and motionless on the hill. He wanted to move but could not move because the lovely music had made a deep place in his heart and memory of the song free mind in his heart for a long time.
