Explanation:
Walt Whitman's poem was written for President Abraham Lincoln, his favorite President. "Whitman uses a strong figurative language with an iambic meter that provides a fluid rhythm and enhanced effect", although the poem had no proper rhyme scheme.
The poem starts in a happy note and ended in despair and distress of a great leader. The lines in the poem emphasized the theme much and the tone kept changing.
The emotions and pity of the poet and the loss of a great leader in history helped to enhance the effect of understanding as a result of the repetition of the lines till the final line.
