I need help with Whitman!?

Question

Does anyone knows any thing about those two poems: Lilacs, and come up from the field father.

Answer 1

If you are askig about the poem " When Lilacs Last in the Dooryard Bloom’d" - it is a death poem which was written about Abraham Lincoln.

When Lilacs Last in the Dooryard Bloom'd" is composed of three separate yet simultaneous poems. One follows the progress of Lincoln's coffin on its way to the president's burial. The second stays with the poet and his sprig of lilac, meant to be laid on the coffin in tribute, as he ruminates on death and mourning. The third uses the symbols of a bird and a star to develop an idea of a nature sympathetic to yet separate from humanity.

Answer 2

Legacy: Walt Whitman
"When Lilacs Last in the Dooryard Bloom'd
from Memories of Lincoln "
