The words-‘single’, ‘solitary’ and ‘singing by herself’ emphasize that the solitary reaper was working all alone and in a lonely place.

The reader is forced to feel that she has experienced something tragic in the past and these phrases relate to her tragedy, they also create a picture of romance and isolation.
