More welcome notes to very bands Very bands of Travelers in some shaty hunt among Arabian Sands now here. In the second stanza, the poet compares the voice of solitary Reaper with that of night angle. You people may know that in romantic poetry the sound of the night angle is described as very melodious and welcoming before seeing the meaning of these lines first of all see this what is Arabian sand here so the Arabian sand mentioned here in this stanza is nothing but that is in Arab areas. There is a desert in which it takes months for people to cross them many times they forget the way or die because of the extreme heat and thirst so here in such a desert if very bands means here this very bands is nothing but it is a tire Travelers who may be taking rest under the Shady hunt now here this Shady Hunt Is nothing but they are taking the rest under the desert tree. So here they are means this very band tire track s are happy to hear the ningle chanting it will be the most joyful voice for them because they will come to know that it is the end of the dread desert because they are near to their destination, so they are happy to listen to The Nigh Angle voice but here poet is comparing to that night.
