Answer:

Answer to the following question is as follows;

Step-by-step explanation:

Wordsworth recounts his amazement at hearing a rural girl singing sweetly in the first verse of "The Solitary Reaper."

Each verse depicts the woman harvesting and humming in a field from a slightly different angle. The first establishes the setting: a rural valley overflowing with the female voice. Her singing is compared to that of a cuckoo birds and a nightingale in the two stanzas.
