The Solitary Reaper by William wordsworth

   The Solitary Reaper

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.

Will no one tell me what she sings?—
Perhaps the plaintive numbers flow
For old, unhappy, far-off things,
And battles long ago:
Or is it some more humble lay,
Familiar matter of to-day?
Some natural sorrow, loss, or pain,
That has been, and may be again?

Whate'er the theme, the Maiden sang
As if her song could have no ending;
I saw her singing at her work,
And o'er the sickle bending;—
I listened, motionless and still;
And, as I mounted up the hill,
The music in my heart I bore,
Long after it was heard no more.

An Attractive Girl

 An Attractive Girl An attractive girl with beauty so rare Eyes that sparkle like diamonds in air Lips that shine like the morning sun And a smile that brightens everyone Her grace and poise are truly a sight With a heart that's pure and filled with light She walks with confidence, head held high And the world can't help but look and sigh Her aura is captivating and warm With a beauty that's both natural and charm She's a precious gem in a sea of stones And the love in her heart overflows Though she's just a girl, she's a wonder to see And the world is a better place, because she's free to be herself, and bring beauty where ever she go. Please note that this is a fictional poem and does not depict any real person. Also it's worth to note that beauty is subjective and it should be celebrated in all forms and shapes.
