How does the speaker compare the girl s voice to the natural sounds In William Wordsworth s - poem The Solitary Reaper the poet travels through the Highlands of Scotland with his sister Dorothy He sees a Highland girl alone in a field She is cutting grain and singing a sad sweet song Her voice fills the quiet valley The poet listens silently and feels peace in his heart To show the beauty of her song he compares it with the two sweetest sounds in nature the nightingale and the cuckoo bird The Nightingale s Song The poet first compares the girl s song to that of the nightingale The poet says her song is sweeter than that of the nightingale He says No Nightingale did ever chaunt More welcome notes to weary bands The nightingale sings to tired travellers in the hot Arabian desert Its song gives them rest
