it is a good poem, the second stanza is quite possibly the most intense

this poem is so emotional, as his brother died in th civil war
i guess his brother is the hero of the poem
the most touching thing is the mother.

I've been studying on Walt Whitman for a While and I think this is one of
the best poems of him about Civil War.
