The Trope of the Nightingale (The Nightingale's Nest)

We have obviously been covering the trope of the bird, particularly the Nightingale in poetry. In my readings of The Nightingale's Nest, I found that the Nightingale is representing poetry as a whole and the nightingale is quite possibly representing the art, creation, and inspiration of poetry all encompassing in the bird. Researching John Claire reveals that he wasn't all that rich to say the least and it is noted that he wasn't formally educated, which a lot of people say reflects the register of his poetry while also mirroring his status in life. Being considered a common man, respectively speaking,  he wrote for the common man with language that was easier to grasp. This does not mean that he lacked the depth in the message of the poem. Utilizing the Nightingale as a trope for poetry and inspiration, I think this poem starts as a quest for the art, craft, and inspiration that is the Nightingale. A secret nest is admired hidden and protected. This is the "Nightingale," or more or less "poetry" itself serving as the whimsical bird but notice that the bird builds its nest often on the ground. For me, this is a node to the common man in that it's saying the bird is poetry and it builds its nook often on the ground which could mean with common society, using bits and pieces from here and there to tirelessly build this nest but like most great art solitude is often needed to craft it and design what is to be made. In the end the creation of new life as in the eggs is for new poetry and art.
