what was the main theme of the solitary reaper's song?

This Scottish song was incomprehensible to the poet and yet its melancholic tune touched him deeply. Therefore, the poet kept watching her sing to herself in a distance so as not to disturb her. Wordsworth does not know the reason behind the sad tune but contemplates the loss of a near one, a loss in war or the simple rustic life of the people of the countryside. The theme throughout the whole poem seems to be the beauty of the song, and the lingering effect it leaves upon the poet.

Robert Frost was one of the greatest nature poem. He uses common languages, rural life, homely farmers in his poems. Because people live in rural areas and directly expresses deep feelings. In the poem "The Solitary Reaper" the poet watches a solitary girl reaping and singing alone in the field at the mountain regions of Scotland. As the poet doesn't understand the actual meaning of her song but he thinks that the song may be battle fought long a go. The song may be far long things or unhappiness in her life....
