William Wordsworth - The Solitary Reaper ("Behold her single in the field")

A recitation of one of the most famous poems by English Romantic poet William Wordsworth.
The poem focuses on a girl singing a sad song while she works by herself in a Scottish field. The narrator stops to listen to the song. Although he doesn't understand the words, he is awe-struck by its beauty.


Poem taken from the 1815 edition of Wordsworth's collection "Poems, in Two Volumes".
