This Dust Was Once the Man is a requiem sonnet composed by Walt Whitman in 1871. The sonnet is devoted to Abraham Lincoln, the sixteenth leader of the United States, whom Whitman incredibly appreciated.

The sonnet was composed six years after Lincoln's death. Whitman had composed three past sonnets about Lincoln, all in 1865 O Captain! My Captain, When Lilacs Last in the Dooryard Bloom'd, and Hush'd Be the Camps To-Day.

The sonnet has not drawn in much individual consideration, however it was for the most part decidedly got and has been investigated a few times, by and large as a commemoration for Lincoln.

The sonnet portrays Lincoln as having saved the association of the United States from the foulest wrongdoing ever, a line that researchers have made clashing translations of. It is by and large seen as alluding to either the severance of the Confederate States of America or the death of Lincoln.
