Nineteenth-century romantic poets such as william wordsworth developed lyric poetry into a form that used first-person accounts of the thoughts and feelings of a specific moment. what thoughts or feelings do the first two stanzas of wordsworth's "the solitary reaper" convey?

behold her, single in the field,
yon solitary highland lass!
reaping and singing by herself;
stop here, or gently pass!
alone she cuts and binds the grain,
and sings a melancholy strain;
o listen! for the vale profound
is overflowing with the sound.

no nightingale did ever chaunt
more welcome notes to weary bands
of travellers in some shady haunt,
among arabian sands:
a voice so thrilling ne'er was heard
in spring-time from the cuckoo-bird
, breaking the silence of the seas
among the farthest hebrides

a the speaker's sadness at the reaper’s song
b the speaker's experiences traveling and seeing the world
c the speaker's feelings about agriculture and women working diligently
d the speaker’s admiration for and gratitude to the reaper
