Class 9 English The Solita Ryreaper

SUMMARY :

This is a beautiful short lyric of 32 lines. In this poem, the poet recalls a memorable experience. Once when he was in Scotland and walking past the highland, he came across a highland girl. She was reaping the harvest and binding the grain all by herself. She was singing a song as she worked. The poet was so impressed by her singing that he stopped and listened. Her voice was so enchanting that the whole valley was overflowing with the music of her song. To the poet it seemed more melodious then the song of either the nightingale singing to the weary bands of travelers in the Arabin deserts or the cuckoo-bird breaking the silence of the seas in the farthest island of Hebrides. The poet could not understand the meaning of her song as the girl was singing in a hilly (native) dialect. But the plaintive numbers seemed to relate the tale of some far off happening or natural sorrow or loss of parting from the near ones. Whatever was the theme of the girl’s song, it affected the poet greatly. He stood spellbound and listened quietly. He wished that the song would never come to an end. Even when he walked away, he carried the music with him. He remembered it till long after he had heard it no more. Thus the song of the reaper provided him a rich emotional experience.
