Question

Alone, aloud in the raptured ear of men We pour our dark nocturnal secret; and then, As night is withdrawn. From these sweet springing meads and bursting boughs of May, Dream, while the innumerable choir of day Welcome the dawn.

Answer 1

Context: In these lines, the birds answer the man’s mistaken view and describe their own version of life. 

Explanation: In this concluding stanza the nightingales say that in the loneliness of the night they reveal their deep secret in the ears of men who are spell bound by their music. When the night dies out, they go from the meadows where sweet flowers spring up and the branches of trees in spring are overladen with flowers and fruits. They are lost in their day-dreams. Then other numerous birds start singing at dawn and welcome the rising sun.
