Which literary device is used to highlight the power of a skylark's song in these lines from a poem? Like a poet hidden In the light of thought; Singing hymns unbidden, Till the world is wrought To sympathy with hopes and fears it heeded not.

So basically this line just suggests that a poet is thinking and singing.
An allusion is very subtle and hard to define.
An analogy is a comparison between one thing and another.
so you think its analogy? @KyanTheDoodle
Not exactly. It might be an analogy, but it could also be an allusion. All I know is that it's not an oxymoron or foreshadow.
