Walt Whitman
O Captain!
The port is near, the bells I hear, the people all exulting
O Captain! my Captain! rise up and hear the bells
The ship is anchor'd safe and sound, its voyage closed and done;
From fearful trip, the victor ship, comes in with object won
My Captain!
Mark’d how, to explore the vacant, vast surrounding,
Ever unreeling them—ever tirelessly speeding them.
Surrounded, surrounded, in measureless oceans of space,
Ceaselessly musing, venturing, throwing,—seeking the spheres, to connect them;
Till the bridge you will need, be form’d—till the ductile anchor hold;
Till the gossamer thread you fling, catch somewhere, O my Soul.

Singing
I hear America singing, the varied carols I hear
The day what belongs to the
day—at night the party of young
fellows, robust, friendly,
Singing with open mouths
their strong melodious songs.

Human Needs
Simplistic life, filled with many sorrows that led to poetry discussing human nature and the one thing Walt Whitman always enjoyed, Democracy.
