or move silently so that the calm of nature is not broken He says Stop here or gently pass Nature here gives peace to the girl and to the poet It is not wild or fearful but kind and comforting The valley becomes a stage where beauty and music join together Nature and Human Emotion as One For Wordsworth nature and the human heart are always connected The Highland girl s song fills the whole valley Her song becomes part of the valley It echoes among the hills The human voice joins the sounds of nature This shows that both speak the same language the language of feeling and peace Nature as a Spiritual Power Wordsworth saw nature as holy and pure It could heal pain and bring peace The girl s song rises through the open air It feels like a prayer to nature The valley becomes sacred The poet feels close to something greater a quiet divine power Nature here is not silent it speaks through her song It fills the poet with spiritual calm Nature as a Living Presence Nature in the poem is not dead or silent It lives and breathes around the girl The valley mountains and sky all seem to listen to her The poet says Will no one tell me what she sings Even though he cannot understand the words nature helps him feel their meaning The landscape acts as a living friend Nature feels the poet s emotion It makes his sense of harmony grow stronger Nature as a Source of Memory and Joy The song becomes a memory that lives forever in the poet s heart Even after leaving the place he says The music in my heart I bore Long after it was heard no more Nature helps him to keep beauty and emotion alive in his mind The song the valley and the quiet air stay with him as a memory of pure happiness Nature gives him not only beauty but also lasting peace Nature as a Teacher and Friend For Wordsworth nature is a teacher and friend It teaches man to feel deeply and live simply The reaper s peaceful work in the open field shows harmony between man and nature The poet learns from her calmness and dedication Nature teaches him to find beauty in small things and peace in silence In The Solitary Reaper Wordsworth shows his deep faith in nature Nature gives peace beauty and joy The Highland girl her sad song and the quiet valley show perfect harmony between man and nature For Wordsworth nature is not just a view It is alive and speaks to the human heart
