"Ode to a Nightingale": Poetic Effects 1     My heart aches, and a drowsy numbness pains 2         My sense, as though of hemlock I had drunk, 3     Or emptied some dull opiate to the drains 4         One minute past, and Lethe-wards had sunk: 5     'Tis not through envy of thy happy lot, 6         But being too happy in thine happiness,-- 7 That thou, light-winged Dryad of the trees 8                 In some melodious plot 9         Of beechen green, and shadows numberless, 10           Singest of summer in full-throated ease.
