Wikipedia:Featured topics/Walt Whitman and Abraham Lincoln
Walt Whitman and Abraham Lincoln never met, but Whitman, an American poet, greatly admired Lincoln, the 16th President of the United States, and was deeply affected upon his assassination. Whitman wrote several poems as elegies—notably "Hush'd Be the Camps To-Day", "O Captain! My Captain!", "When Lilacs Last in the Dooryard Bloom'd", and "This Dust Was Once the Man"—and gave a series of lectures on Lincoln.
