Answer:

I believe that, in these specific lines, the literary device is indeed a simile.

Explanation:

It is known that in his poem "To a Skylark", Shelly employed several types of literary devices, among which we have allusions, an apostrophe, and a couple of metaphors as well. But since we should focus on the lines offered in the question, the literary device that is evident from the get-go is the simile.

A simile is a figure of speech used with the intention of making a comparison - stating a similarity - between two different things. It uses words such as "as" or "like". In that sense, it differs from the metaphor. The simile makes a direct comparison while the metaphor makes an indirect one.

The very first line, "Like a poet hidden", compares the skylark to a poet by the means a simile. The other lines simply prolong such comparison by attributing actions and characteristics of a poet to the bird.

When someone no longer lives in a house, what have they done?

It depends on the situation...were they kicked out or did they willingly move out?
If they are kicked out then they are then homeless, but if they willingly moved out and moved into another place, they just simply moved. 
Not sure if that is the answer you were looking for, but that's all I can give you unless you provide more details to your question. Hope it helped! :)
