Explanation:

In "The Solitary Reaper," a young Highland girl is reaping alone and singing to herself while she works.The speaker of the poem is giving us a very positive note of the solitary reaper's beautiful, beguiling song. He also compares her songs to that of the nightingale.He desperately wants to know the meaning of the depth of her sorrowful song, as he cannot make out the words. In the end, he gives up himself of not knowing but continues to think about her song, even as he is too far to hear it.This short poem is quintessential Wordsworth, one of his favorite recurring themes. First, it is about a simple, a commoner, a laboring woman who is far from any place of power; it is also a celebration of the extraordinary being in the ordinary.In poem, "The Solitary Reaper," it celebrates the nature and a simple pleasure.
