Answer:

Hover for more information. Wordsworth compares the highland lass with nightingales and cuckoos, both of which have been regarded, since ages, to be among the most melodious singers of nature. The highland lass' song has had an overwhelming effect on the poet's mind.

Wordsworth has compared the song of the Highland Lass to a cuckoo.

  • The question has been asked from the poem The Solitary Reaper by William Wordsworth.
  • He accurately compares the lass to a cuckoo bird and also a lovely nightingale.
  • To the romantic descriptions of exotic, distant beauty, the poet has used the conventional high diction, which invokes the Arabic sands and also the farthest Hebrides.
  • Yet in each specific case, he properly acknowledges that these typically beautiful objects surpass the extraordinary beauty of the lass's classic song.
