Keats used this time to become aware of some of the creatures in nature, especially the nightingale (Park 23). He then uses these the emotions he felt to create a tone of sadness and suffering in the poem. The tone in the Ode to a Nightingale is expressed partly due to Keats reaction to the nightingale.…
