"The pale purple even melts around thy flight;
Like a star of heaven in the broad daylight,
Though art unseen, but yet I hear thy shrill delight—"

'To a Skylark' is a classic poem by Percy Bysshe Shelley, first published in 1820 within his work 'Prometheus Unbound'. The verses begin by describing a skylark above him, praising his traits via a number of similes. It is one of his most famous poems, and over the years it has influenced and inspired numerous works by authors, poets and songwriters, further securing its legacy in the history of literature.

Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822) was one of the major English Romantic poets, and is widely considered to be among the finest lyric poets of the English language. Among his most cherished works are pieces such as 'Ozymandias' (1817), 'Ode to the West Wind' (1820), 'To a Skylark' (1820), and 'The Masque of Anarchy' (1819). Shelley's unconventional life and uncompromising idealism, combined with his strong skeptical voice, made him a authoritative and much denigrated figure during his life. Famous for his association with his contemporaries John Keats & Lord Byron, he was also married to novelist Mary Shelley.
