Nightingale had maple to fly around (4,2,3,4)

I believe the answer is:

lady of the lamp

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'nightingale' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.

'had maple to fly around' is the wordplay.
'around' is an anagram indicator.
'had'+'maple'+'to'+'fly'='hadmapletofly'
'hadmapletofly' anagrammed gives 'LADY OF THE LAMP'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for lady of the lamp that I've seen is " Florence Nightingale".)
