Beautiful poem. I wish I could write one :)
About Walt Whitman, thanks to Dead Poet Society, I remember one of his line: "O captain my captain!"

    Oh, yes. Wasn't that a great movie? And that poem is also a great poem, about Abraham Lincoln, upon his assassination.

    Exult O shores, and ring O bells!
             But I with mournful tread,
                  Walk the deck my Captain lies,
                       Fallen cold and dead.

    Thanks for reading.
