This poem's narrator saw "debris of all the dead soldiers of the war," "white skeletons of young men," and "battle-corpses, myriads of them." He also asks "what shall I hang on the chamber walls?" Its sixteenth section features "glad serenades / dances for thee I propose, saluting thee." That section is a Death Carol of this poem whose narrator also addresses the "western orb, sailing the heaven," even though it has been "a month since [they] walk'd." Also featuring a "star, my departing comrade, [that] holds and detains me," it uses a solitary thrush that "sings by himself a song." For ten points, identify this poem whose second line is "And the great star early droop'd in the western sky in the night," an unrhymed elegy for Abraham Lincoln, written by Walt Whitman.
