Answer 2

Answer:

Because he likens the lovely tones of her song to those of the cuckoo and the nightingale, two birds that sing in enchanting settings.

Explanation:

• The Solitary Reaper's song is compared by the poet to that of a nightingale or a cuckoo bird. According to him, it exudes the same sense of excitement as a cuckoo bird heralding the start of spring.

• The reaper is referred to as "Solitary" by the poet because she is working alone in the field, harvesting the produce while singing a melancholy song only to herself. He likens the sweetness of her melody to that of the cuckoo and the nightingale, two birds who sing in a romantic setting.

• "A mournful strain," "welcome notes," "plaintive numbers," and "humble lay" are the lines from the poem that most accurately characterize the song.
