A romantic poem that I can't quite remember the name of
Alright, well first off here's my disclaimer: I read the rules over and still can't figure out if I shouldn't post this here. Therefore, my sincere apologies in advance if this is the wrong forum or simply not material for these forums as a whole. That being said, I have a small problem...
In one of my English classes in high school (four to five years ago if I remember correctly), we read a poem in class by one of the Romantics in which the poet encounters a bird in its natural habitat. The poet is so amazed by the beauty of this bird that he takes it out of its habitat and brings it home with him so as to always have its beauty present. However, upon arriving home and seeing the bird out of its natural habitat, the poet realizes that the bird has lost its beauty (likely as a direct result of being removed).
That, of course, is my simplified and non-poetic version, and tragically that's all I remember. It unfortunately may not even be a bird, but that was the general theme. Further, I do not know if the poet was even male, I just referred to him or her as such for the sake of simplicity :brickwall.
I was reminded of this poem today and am desperately trying to find it. Any help will be greatly appreciated <3. Oh, and if you have no idea what I'm talking about (I know that my description was quite pathetic :( ), please don't hurt me :bawling:
I did a bit of searching myself and came up with some Romantic poems about birds. I know it's not these ones...
To a Nightingale
To a Sky-lark (fairly certain it's not this one)
