To a Skylark
It also praises the lark and
its ability to sound joyous but it concentrates more on the wish to reach the same heights as
the bird.
The poem starts with Wordsworth asking the bird to lift him up and teach him. He wishes to
reach the place where the lark gets it's inspiration from.
I have walked through wildernesses dreary
And to-day my heart is weary;
Had I now the wings of a Faery,
Up to thee would I fly.
These lines create the image that Wordsworth was walking in the woods when he saw a
skylarks' nest up high and that was what gave him inspiration. He wishes he could fly like a
fairy and join the singing bird.
Wordsworth feels that the bird must have a strong soul to create something so mad but at the
same time joyful. He feels that they would fit to be together but as he needs to get on with his
journey he must sate with just hearing the bird. All in all he is happy he had the chance to
enjoy the jolly music and hopes it happens again sometime.
