hi, im having trouble analyzing a poem by walt whitman, "Hush'd be the camps today":
Hush'd be the camps to-day, And soldiers let us drape our war-worn weapons, And each with musing soul retire to celebrate, Our dear commander's death.
No more for him life's stormy conflicts, Nor victory, nor defeat--no more time's dark events, Charging like ceaseless clouds across the sky.
But sing poet in our name, Sing of the love we bore him--because you, dweller in camps, know it truly.
As they invault the coffin there, Sing--as they close the doors of earth upon him--one verse, For the heavy hearts of soldiers.
can anyone help me find the message within the poem? or even help me write a thesis staement? all ive found in the poem is that its about the death of Abraham Lincoln.
Thanks,
-Mike |
