  Having failed to understand the lyrics of the song, what does the poet wish? or Why did the poet ask someone to tell him what the solitary reaper was singing?  

Answer:

                  As the solitary reaper belongs to the highland region of Scotland, she is singing in Gaelic, which the poet does not comprehend. Yet, his soul is mesmerised by her beautiful voice. When he does not understand the lyrics of the song, but is greatly influenced, thereby he wishes someone could explain to him the contents of her song.
