Detailed explanation-1: -"Ode to a Nightingale” is a poem by John Keats written either in the garden of the Spaniards Inn, Hampstead, London or, according to Keats’ friend Charles Armitage Brown, under a plum tree in the garden of Keats’ house at Wentworth Place, also in Hampstead.
Detailed explanation-2: -’Ode to a Nightingale’ is one of John Keats’ great odes, written in May 1819, when the poet was just 23 years old. The poem is dominated by thoughts of death, underpinned by meditations on immortality and on the finite nature of joy.
Detailed explanation-3: -In this poem, Keats celebrates the nightingale, a bird with a particularly magical voice. The nightingale is a loaded symbol for Keats because the origins of the nightingale had been so famously explained in the collection of stories called the Metamorphoses, by the Roman poet Ovid.
Detailed explanation-4: -Thou wast not born for death, immortal Bird! Of perilous seas, in faery lands forlorn. To toll me back from thee to my sole self! As she is fam’d to do, deceiving elf.
Detailed explanation-5: -He sees violets, a summer flower, and the musk rose, a flower that blooms in May. The dew of the musk rose is intoxicating, like the wine he spoke of earlier.
