This pastoral elegy, composed by Percy Bysshe Shelley in 1821, mourns the death of poet John Keats. Spanning 495 lines across 55 stanzas, it reflects Shelley's deep admiration for Keats and is influenced by classical elegies, particularly Virgil's tenth Eclogue. Written shortly after learning of Keats' passing, the poem aligns with the English tradition exemplified by Milton's "Lycidas," showcasing Shelley's lyrical prowess and emotional depth as he grapples with loss and celebrates Keats' artistic legacy.

"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.

Written by Shelley at the age of 17, these novels are of interest 200 years later as early artifacts of the age of the Gothic horror novel.
