The poem 'The School Boy' uses powerful imagery, typical of the Romantic poems. The schoolboy is compared to a plant and a bird to show how he is wilted or feels caged. Metaphor and simile are also used by the poet: 'under the cruel eye outworn'. The use of alliteration gives it a lyrical quality: 'skylark sings'.
