B. relief Explanation:"Ode to a Nightingale" (1819) is a poem by English poet John Keats (1795 - 1821). It deals with the happiness that is the song of the nightingale, the sorrows of the world and the seduction of death; "Ode to a Nightingale" is one among many other poems that read melancholy allied with joy, past to present, death to life, and all in the most beautiful limit of poetic language. In most romantic poems, death presents itself as a relief from the sufferings of life.

If I had to pick any of these I would pick C.) Relief because in the text the speaker says,"I have been half in love with easeful Death" Which doesn't seem very horror filled or teeming with anxiety. Let me know if this helped.

The correct answer is letter D. Fear. Ode to a Nightingale is a poem written by John Keats in either in the garden of the Spaniards Inn, Hampstead, London. It is a different flavor of romanticism - no dancing daffodils or peaceful shepherds.
