One poem calls this person "gentle, plain, just and resolute." A poem about this person includes an italicized portion beginning "Come lovely and soothing death, undulate round the world." This person is the subject of the poem "The Dust Was Once a Man," as well as a poem noting that "the ship has weather'd every rack, the prize we sought is won." An elegy for this man repeats images of a solitary thrush singing and a star drooping in the sky. In another poem, he is represented as a sailor who has "fallen cold and dead" on the deck. For 10 points, name this president who is the subject of Walt Whitman's poems "When Lilacs Last in the Dooryard Bloom'd" and "O Captain! My Captain!"
