In what ways is Skylark a typical romantic poem?
Skylark is a typically romantic poem due to the use of language and
feelings expressed in the poem.
The title 'To a Skylark' is typically romantic as the poem is wrote
directly to a bird. The references to time, height, heaven and the poet
himself are also typically romantic. The poem describes how the bird is
not just a bird it is much more than that. 'Hail to thee, blithe spirit! Bird thou never wert' (L1-2) this is as though the poem is telling the reader that it is not just describing a bird but many different parallels are being shown through the image of the bird. 'spirit' may also be taken literally as somebody which has been lost to the poet or merely just as a metaphor of the bird.
