Answer:
The
solitary reaper is a short lyrical ballad. The poem is bifurcated into four stanzas,
having eight lines each. The poem is dominated by one central figure, a Scottish
girl, standing alone in afield harvesting grain and singing melodiously.. The
poem is written in the first person and can be categorised as pastoral, describing
a scene from country life.
Each stanza follows a rhyme scheme of ababccdd, though in the first and
last stanzas the 'a' rhyme is off (field/self and
sang/work).
The literary devices lend richness to the poem.
Hyperbole is a type of figurative speech. It is an exaggeration.
In the current poem, 'breaking the silence of the seas among the farthest
Hebrides' is an example of hyperbole. There are also several instances of
Alliteration.
