Ode to a Skylark by Percy Bysshe Shelley Hail to thee, blithe Spirit! Bird thou never wert, That from Heaven, or near it, Pourest thy full heart In profuse strains of unpremeditated art. Higher still and higher From the earth thou springest Like a cloud of fire; The blue deep thou wingest, And singing still dost soar, and soaring ever singest. In the golden lightning Of the sunken sun, O'er which clouds are bright'ning, Thou dost float and run; Like an unbodied joy whose race is just begun.

Respuesta :

A. because its stanzas are of uniform length

This beautiful piece of poetry was written during a stay near the Mediterranean coast of Italy. We can read how the bird utters its beautiful song in nature. This is a significant characteristic of the theme in Horace's odes. It is important to notice the structure of the poem as well. The right option is A due to the uniformity in length in the stanzas, each stanza has five lines;  four lines with five syllables and the last with twelve.
