Analysis and comments on As the Time Draws Nigh. by Walt Whitman

Comment 3 of 3, added on May 31st, 2005 at 11:54 PM.

I believe this poem is trying to express the feeling of accomplishment. It
is a good feeling to know that Walt Whitman in this poem believed that what
he received and contributed in this life was enough. But it shows the
comfort of dying in mind that he played his part in life which was more
than enough to regard him.
