Stanza Five of Ode to A Nightingale

Keats seems to be able to relate to the Nightingale because they are going through the same seasons of life. You get a sense of Spring turning to Summer. Yet for all of the Spring imagry, he can still only focus on his own sense of mortality. He wishes he could enjoy it more, but just can't seem to shake off the darkness.
