This is a fantastic poem and beautifully expresses the history of Ireland.
It truly enlightens this beautiful country.

This text has the imagery of the dying Ireland during the time of the Great
Famine (1845-1850), one of the greatest human disasters in the last
century, and its subsequent rebirth in the New World.

i think it's more about the country of Ireland and it's "progress" from
independent to british to independent again... i'm terrible with history,
but having lived in ireland i think whitman's view of the nation still
applies, it is a place that maintains life - cultural and historical life,
that is - even when it seems it has died. interesting...

I'm not sure about this at all. Is the poet speaking of a son who has
migrated to America or is it deeper than that? is he suggesting that when
we die we leave one form only to take another somewhere else. That life
goes on through the earth and sky....I would be more comfortable with
that...but then i am a mother.
