Very often an ode will have the title `` Ode to ... '' followed by the name of the thing or person that it describes , e.g. John Keats wrote a poem `` Ode to a Nightingale '' . Shelley 's Ode to the West Wind , written in fourteen line terza rima stanzas , is a major poem in the form , but perhaps the greatest odes of the 19th century were Keats 's Five Great Odes of 1819 which included Ode to a Nightingale , Ode on Melancholy , Ode on a Grecian Urn , Ode to Psyche , and To Autumn .
