The Solitary Reaper'
by William Wordsworth



BEHOLD her, single in the field, Yon solitary Highland Lass!
Reaping and singing by herself; Stop here, or gently pass!
Alone she cuts and binds the grain,




And sings a melancholy strain;
O listen! for the Vale profound
Is overflowing with the sound.




No Nightingale did ever chaunt More welcome notes to weary bands
Of travellers in some shady haunt, Among Arabian sands:
A voice so thrilling ne'er was heard
In spring-time from the Cuckoo-bird,
Breaking the silence of the seas
Among the farthest Hebrides.




Will no one tell me what she sings?— Perhaps the plaintive numbers flow
For old, unhappy, far-off things, And battles long ago:
Or is it some more humble lay,
Familiar matter of to-day?
Some natural sorrow, loss, or pain,
That has been, and may be again?




Whate'er the theme, the Maiden sang As if her song could have no ending;
I saw her singing at her work, And o'er the sickle bending;—
I listen'd, motionless and still;
And, as I mounted up the hill,
The music in my heart I bore,
Long after it was heard no more.

[kalpved1234]

its a lovely sad poem by William Wordsworth

[informalspoofer]

Gorgeous.

[mrtahirm]

beautiful

[MALCOLMACDOO]

Noticed I made a major faux pas William Wordsworth and Henry Wadsworth Longfellow are two different poets I thought they were one and the same so sorry for the blunder

[MALCOLMACDOO]

Its strange how the last stanza of this poem verified what i just said After listening to the lines of the poem once more.

[MALCOLMACDOO]

That oration was very well presented in fact Longfellow himself would take pride in such a presentation if he were alive to hear it. Than again he believed in the immortally of the human soul so maybe he does hear it

[littled1243]

This poem is actually about the Maiden (Scottish guillotine) cutting off peoples heads, so NO it isn't lovely. Break it down. It's a present for you to open and see what he really feels about English tyranny.

[ameerasiraj]

it is a lovely poem

[hemkannan]

I like the songs of william wordsworth
