1. William Wordsworth’s

2. The Solitary Reaper
WILLIAM WORDSWORTH
1770-1850

3. The Solitary Reaper
Behold her,
single in the
field,

4. The Solitary Reaper
Yon
solitary
Highland
lass!

5. The Solitary Reaper
Reaping
and
singing by
herself;

6. The Solitary Reaper
Stop here,
or gently
pass!

7. The Solitary Reaper
Alone she
cuts, and
binds the
grain,

8. The Solitary Reaper
And sings a melancholy
strain :

9. The Solitary Reaper
O listen! For the vale
profound

10. The Solitary Reaper
Is overflowing with the
sound.

11. The Solitary Reaper
No
nightingale
did ever
chant

12. The Solitary Reaper
More welcome notes to
weary bands
Of Travellers….

13. The Solitary Reaper
…in some shady haunt,
Among Arabian sands.

14. The Solitary Reaper
Hebrides

15. The Solitary Reaper
A voice so thrilling ne’er was
heard
In the Spring time from the
cuckoo bird.

16. The Solitary Reaper
Breaking the silence of the seas
Among the farthest Hebrides.

17. The Solitary Reaper
Will no one
tell me
what she
sings?

18. The Solitary Reaper
Perhaps the
plaintive
numbers
flow

19. The Solitary Reaper
For old,
unhappy,
far-off
things ,
And
battles
long ago.

20. The Solitary Reaper
Or is it some more humble lay,
Familiar matter of today?

21. The Solitary Reaper
Some
natural
sorrow…

22. The Solitary Reaper
…Loss or
pain,
That has
been and
may be
again.

23. The Solitary Reaper
Whate’er the theme ,
the maiden sang
As if her song could
have no ending;

24. The Solitary Reaper
I saw her
singing at
her work,
And o’er
the sickle
bending;

25. The Solitary Reaper
I listen’d
motionless and
still

26. The Solitary Reaper
And, as I mounted up the hill,

27. The Solitary Reaper
The music in my heart I bore,
Long after it was heard no more.
