Desperately looking for a poem

[monkeyboy7]

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?

I personally find the subject matter very intriguing too and hope we could locate the poem!
