Detailed explanation-1: -The Ode To A Nightingale is a romantic poem like Keats ‘ other odes and deals with a world and experience which are different and remote from the real ones.

Detailed explanation-3: -The “Ode to a Nightingale” is a regular ode. All eight stanzas have ten pentameter lines and a uniform rhyme scheme. Although the poem is regular in form, it leaves the impression of being a kind of rhapsody; Keats is allowing his thoughts and emotions free expression.
