    Eduncle Best Answer

    Keats took "his chair from the breakfast-table to the grass-plot under the plum-tree" near Brown's house and sat under it "for two or three hours," taking pleasure in the song of a nightingale that "had built her nest" there. Afterwards, Keats returned to the house with some "scraps" on which he had been writing the ode. Keats did not record these few hours in "Ode to a Nightingale." In the poem, the bird sings "in some melodious plot / Of beechen green", not in a plum-tree.
    The ending of the poem "To Autumn" is artistically made to correspond with the ending of a day: "And gathering swallows twitter in the skies." In the evening, swallows gather in flocks preparatory to returning to their nests for the night.
    In Ode on Melancholy, Keats basically starts out saying what not to do when overwhelmed in a melancholy moment: dont kill yourself, dont forget melancholy, dont partner with it, etc. And then he goes on to offer a few things that a person can do when a melancholy fit shall fall, basically: glut your sorrows on thoughts of natural beauty. Morning roses, rainbows, waves, and peonies will do. Oh–and dont let other angry people bring you down. Finally, Keats shows the brilliant interconnectedness of pleasure and pain, Beauty and Melancholy, joy and sadness.
    "Ode on a Grecian Urn" is a romantic ode, a dignified but highly lyrical (emotional) poem in which the author speaks to a person or thing absent or present. 
    Who are these coming to the sacrifice? 
    To what green altar, O mysterious priest, 
    Lead'st thou that heifer lowing at the skies, 
    And all her silken flanks with garlands dressed? 
    What little town by river or sea shore, 
    Or mountain-built with peaceful citadel, 
    Is emptied of this folk, this pious morn? 
    And, little town, thy streets for evermore 
    Will silent be; and not a soul to tell 
    Why thou art desolate, can e'er return.
