    Desperately looking for a poem

    I'm trying to find a poem I read in university. Here's what I remember:

    - I believe it was written in the 18th century
    - British author
    - It's about a bird trying to (unsuccessfully) escape a building that has ceilings painted like the sky

    I'm sorry my information is so scanty! Does this ring a bell for anyone?

    "Mort de loup" - de Vigny?
    I wrote a poem on a leaf and it blew away...

    I personally find the subject matter very intriguing too and hope we could locate the poem!
    I sang of leaves, of leaves of gold, and leaves of gold there grew.
