What is the topic of each stanza of "the solitary reaper"? how does the stanza structure develop a major theme of the poem?

Each stanza provides a slightly different perspective of the woman reaping and singing in a field. The first sets the scene: a rustic vale, or valley, filled with the woman's voice. The second stanza compares her song to that of a cuckoo bird and a nightingale. Each bird is associated with a distant location—the Arabian sands and the "farthest" Hebrides. In the third stanza, the speaker wonders what the words of the song might be: Are they epic or personal? Are they about battles or the repeated sorrows of life? The last stanza describes how the reaper's song affected the speaker. He says the song will "have no ending" because it will stay in his memory.

This stanza structure helps express the theme of the natural beauty of a country woman's song, which is as good as or better than that of songbirds. Because he can't understand the words, the speaker listens to them in much the same way as he'd listen to a bird's song. As a field-worker, the woman also represents the value of someone whose art has developed without training. This quality echoes Wordsworth's belief in poetry that is accessible to people of all classes.

Each stanza has a different perspective.

Explanation:

- The first stanza, is related to a woman because there is a woman's voice.

- The second stanza, is related to a song because she compares a song to the one of the cuckoo clock.

- The third stanza, is related to the song because the speaker wonders the meaning of the song.

- The last stanza, is related to the relation that establishes the song and how is it affecting it to the speaker.

The stanza structure help develop a major theme of the poem in the way that it expresses the theme is natural. The speaker listen to this song in more or less the same way he/she would listen a bird's song.

- "the die is cast; i have consented to return if we are not destroyed. thus are my hopes blasted by cowardice and indecision; i come back ignorant and disappointed. it requires more philosophy than i possess to bear this injustice with patience. i have lost my hopes of utility and glory; i have lost my friend."
