Question

Based on this excerpt from the poem "The Solitary Reaper" by William Wordsworth, what can be determined about the speaker and the singing solitary reaper?

Answer 1

No Nightingale did ever chaunt1
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 Hebrides2.

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?

1 sing
2 a large archipelago off the west coast of Scotland, composed of the oldest rocks in the British Isles

A.) They are lovers who are meeting in secret.
B.) They are both lost and confused.
C.) They do not speak the same language.
D.) They are enemies who hate each other.

Answer 13

And if you look more closely you can see that it does not tell you anything about lovers

So we are left with the one and one C which tells he does not know what language she is speaking

The waves beside them danced, but they
Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:
A poet could not but be gay,
In such a jocund company:
I gazed—and gazed—but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought:

For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.
