| Notes | The speaker of this poem expresses dismay at the wastefulness and vanity of humans through their consumption of nightingale flesh, thus silencing the bird's song. There is a stark image of a vast wasteland of refuse at the end of the poem which appears to reference the culture of consumption among humans and the violence to other animals upon which it depends. No cultural context is specified. |
