I think that this poem is about love which is an everlasting passion - more
immortial than the stars on the sky. This should be the real consolation
for the child who had probably lost her mother. Like the stars from the
sky, so the passion of her mother should always shine in life of the child.

It is true that the death of a mother is not mentioned, but if you read the
poetry of dozens of other poets, they also do not mention the actual
subject of their poems. It is left for us to ponder and figuer out. Like a
riddle. The first sign that made me think that it was the death of a
mother, was the mention of "burial" clouds. And it flowed into other signs
as well. This poem is just awesome.

this poem is incredible at showing theinnocence of a child. yet, there is a
slight mystery to it, since Walt Whitman doesn't say that the mother died,
it is very logical to think so..

I think this poem is wonderful and creative. But if you look deeper into
the meaning of this poem, one may think that it may be a father and
daughter standing on a beach, mourning over the loss of the mother. To a
little girl, her mother is the sun, moon and stars. And the father reminds
the daughter that love will last longer than even the moon and stars. Look
into the meaning of the words and read between the lines. It can look to be
a very sad poem with a very deep meaning.

Something there is,
(With my lips soothing thee, adding, I whisper,
I give thee the first suggestion, the problem and indirection,)
"Something there is more immortal even than the stars,
(Many the burials, many the days and nights, passing away,)
Something that shall endure longer even than lustrous Jupiter,
Longer than sun, or any revolving satellite,
Or the radiant brothers, the Pleiades." - Wonderful poem...Seems like he
may be referring to there love. Does anyone else think this?

I found this poem yesterday while I was looking for one for my AP english
class. I fell in love with it the minute I finished reading it, it is by
far the best poem that I have ever read.
