What is the meaning of the phrase ''blithe spirit'' in Shelley's ''To a Skylark?"

The skylark symbolizes the free soul  .It , according to Shelly's vision is ,ignorant of the sufferings and cares of this world .Blithe means ignorance of worldly desires , and that of the hopes and fears of the people of this world ."Spirit",  suggests ,-soul .Hence the phrase , "Blithe spirit",simply speaks of the disembodied soul .
