Abstract

One of the crucial features of Romantic poetry is love for nature. “Ode to a Nightingale” by Keats and “To a Skylark” by Shelley are the two excellent Romantic poems which treat the nightingale and the skylark as exceptional birds whose mellifluous songs imply the facets of immortality and spirituality respectively. This article aims .at making a concise textual analysis of these two poems by engrossing the aspects like the speakers, structures of the poems, thematic dimensions, tones, literary devices, rhyme scheme and treatment of these birds. Some words and verse lines which are taken as qualitative primary data from these two odes have been analyzed as the elements and features of the texts.
