Theme: Beauty and sorrow are the major themes in this poem. We get presented two things while reading the poem, the labor of the girl and her expression of sorrow.
She´s complete in her own world, singing while doing her work, not letting any of her surroundings get to her.
Imagery: In stanza one 3rd line, he writes “Reaping and singing by herself”, he makes the reader visualize what he has seen and how he felt, he wants the reader to feel like you´re standing there listening with him.
