The poem was possibly written between April and May 1819, based on weather conditions and similarities between images in the poem and a letter sent to Fanny Brawne.The contrast between the immortal nightingale and mortal man sitting in his garden is made more acute by an effort of imagination.The nightingale symbolizes the ability to live through song, which humans cannot expect, and the inevitability of death.
