Music    doesn't    know    boundaries. Wordsworth was not able to understand the dialect of the song of the reaper and even though it was melancholic, it left a long lasting impression in his heart. Describe, in your own words, how music can soothe the tired one even if one doesn't understand it.                 

Answer:

                Wordsworth was on his way when he heard the 'melancholic strain' of the solitary reaper, which totally mesmerised him. He was awestruck even though the song was a sad one and he could not understand the language in which the girl was singing. This is what music does. It doesn't know boundaries. It affects all and the source of the sound doesn't matters. In the deserts, the nightingale's song welcomes the tired travellers. In spring time, the cuckoo bird breaks the silence of the seas. Music is above the barriers of language and tones. It affects us and enchants us.
