Question: What were Wordsworth's reactions to the song of the Solitary Reaper?
Answer: William Wordsworth was charmed to hear the song of the solitary reaper in a valley. Her song had a melancholy tune. It seemed to overflow the deep valley. It seemed sweeter than a Nightingale's song to some tired travelers in the Arabian Desert. It was more thrilling than the note of a cuckoo heard in the farthest Hebrides in spring. As the language of the song was not known to the poet, he guessed that the song was about some sad incidents of the past or the present. He was, however, more impressed by the tune of the song than its subject. He listened quietly for some-time. He remembered it long after he had heard it.
