This poem evokes images of "Ohio's shores and flashing Missouri," with the speaker himself located among the "spires, and the sparkling and hurrying tides" of the city. An aside in this poem declares that if a creature wasn't able to sing it would "surely die". One object in this poem is located "fronting an old farm-house near the white-wash'd palings." The "tolling tolling bells' perpetual clang" mark a passing of a coffin in this poem. It describes a "great star disappear'd" and a solitary thrush. For 10 points, name this Walt Whitman elegy for Abraham Lincoln titled for some purple flowers.
