A short story inspired by the poem “Ode to a Nightingale” by John Keats.
—————————————————————————————
My heart aches, and a drowsy numbness pains 116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XTQ5KKY3P
My sense, as though of hemlock I had drunk, 116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3gRolW69V
Or emptied some dull opiate to the drains 116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmNehdJG9Y
One minute past, and Lethe-wards had sunk: 116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOGtTodq52
'Tis not through envy of thy happy lot, 116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4olmswh85l
But being too happy in thine happiness,— 116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXCGnTTSsn
That thou, light-winged Dryad of the trees 116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEklvKNO6i
In some melodious plot 116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhOlnx8j9x
Of beechen green, and shadows numberless, 116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezKO6Giz4S
Singest of summer in full-throated ease. 116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmlU6jtu6Z
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWySkYu0GMc
O, for a draught of vintage! that hath been 116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rQYzUTq8H
Cool'd a long age in the deep-delved earth, 116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxtPuHbdk5
Tasting of Flora and the country green, 116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpj2hfQsFw
Dance, and Provençal song, and sunburnt mirth! 116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvgxsbQOt9
O for a beaker full of the warm South, 116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgLjKncxeD
Full of the true, the blushful Hippocrene, 116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27sPvMv7bA
With beaded bubbles winking at the brim, 116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjudoLY1oEy
And purple-stained mouth; 116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknEyo0heSc
That I might drink, and leave the world unseen, 116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFbvJIm7Ui
And with thee fade away into the forest dim: 116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LAwncECIb
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMOYIp0lXt
Fade far away, dissolve, and quite forget 116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8R3iomldRP
What thou among the leaves hast never known, 116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcK9co4WGhz
The weariness, the fever, and the fret 116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqulOpBOow
Here, where men sit and hear each other groan; 116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4JLYej6xw
Where palsy shakes a few, sad, last gray hairs, 116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeH3UvhTUm
Where youth grows pale, and spectre-thin, and dies; 116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodmOScRAX1
Where but to think is to be full of sorrow 116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsaCNG3A1wk
And leaden-eyed despairs, 116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeI1Kgzzk1I
Where Beauty cannot keep her lustrous eyes, 116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgs07EZpgeP
Or new Love pine at them beyond to-morrow. 116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPtdYObhuW
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4syUagxjG
Away! away! for I will fly to thee, 116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SNJ5oDGUu
Not charioted by Bacchus and his pards, 116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Klt8bARI8
But on the viewless wings of Poesy, 116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDij572UzSd
Though the dull brain perplexes and retards: 116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DdznfmrmL
Already with thee! tender is the night, 116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquKraMbgA0
And haply the Queen-Moon is on her throne, 116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNedAAekYNQ
Cluster'd around by all her starry Fays; 116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItnFyaV2F0
But here there is no light, 116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxUqGOyah2
Save what from heaven is with the breezes blown 116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DekY8frSf
Through verdurous glooms and winding mossy ways. 116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LMbfQ8tKQ
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWrxOWluXm
I cannot see what flowers are at my feet, 116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4IVZVvtqx
Nor what soft incense hangs upon the boughs, 116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0Q3cTbaVv
But, in embalmed darkness, guess each sweet 116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnyKekvevP
Wherewith the seasonable month endows 116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpjvQCMqox
The grass, the thicket, and the fruit-tree wild; 116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJm6KUs0lLQ
White hawthorn, and the pastoral eglantine; 116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRq9TWhJnTo
Fast fading violets cover'd up in leaves; 116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbE1tRp86gf
And mid-May's eldest child, 116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTGYs5YDEA
The coming musk-rose, full of dewy wine, 116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7bvE4DpgG
The murmurous haunt of flies on summer eves. 116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdO4HbYUGnt
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHb76FAzT1R
Darkling I listen; and, for many a time 116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtOo8IVy2T
I have been half in love with easeful Death, 116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmqiZG4gon
Call'd him soft names in many a mused rhyme, 116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yWdWBURj4
To take into the air my quiet breath; 116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajhycMnuVF
Now more than ever seems it rich to die, 116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTWJiSnbOK
To cease upon the midnight with no pain, 116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOqZ0F0QRP
While thou art pouring forth thy soul abroad 116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXY574OtwwL
In such an ecstasy! 116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGX7volo2s
Still wouldst thou sing, and I have ears in vain— 116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSE6uyTpA4
To thy high requiem become a sod. 116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYK1v3rTwne
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qPzK7oYFH
Thou wast not born for death, immortal Bird! 116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4k22ZIrJy6
No hungry generations tread thee down; 116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGV74gKKeo5
The voice I hear this passing night was heard 116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZa4zUGApeY
In ancient days by emperor and clown: 116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksjC2RAGxh
Perhaps the self-same song that found a path 116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlMvkcqHgG
Through the sad heart of Ruth, when, sick for home, 116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwpp8P8qIF
She stood in tears amid the alien corn; 116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZTT7I9jGZ
The same that oft-times hath 116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGe6TtpHlQ
Charm'd magic casements, opening on the foam 116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFvMHn6VcU
Of perilous seas, in faery lands forlorn. 116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZlFUfZifU
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZPLgViuUB
Forlorn! the very word is like a bell 116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOM4baVxfGy
To toll me back from thee to my sole self! 116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tL5QSYokl
Adieu! the fancy cannot cheat so well 116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInGCKYnYhJ
As she is fam'd to do, deceiving elf. 116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSgoQXhcQT
Adieu! adieu! thy plaintive anthem fades 116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYENDhrqn2F
Past the near meadows, over the still stream, 116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zTmB1dwSf
Up the hill-side; and now 'tis buried deep 116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIeGskx86p
In the next valley-glades: 116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7elYdvlUks
Was it a vision, or a waking dream? 116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMz4Uae5ue
Fled is that music:—Do I wake or sleep?
