First Line: So late, and yet a nightingale?

Subject(s): Birds; Nightingales
SO late, and yet a nightingale ?
Long since have dropp'd the blossoms pale,
The summer fields are ripening,
And yet a sound of spring ?
O tell me, didst thou come to hear,
Sweet Spring, that I should die this year ;
And call'st across from the far shore
To me one greeting more ?
