Analysis of Poem

To the Garden the World

As in the poem “Song of Myself”, Walt Whitman doesn’t use any rhythm and hardly any rhyme except the first two line he used ascending and preluding. For literary devices he uses repetition with the word “wondrous” in the section “Amorous, mature, all beautiful to me, all wondrous, My limbs and the quivering fire that ever plays through them, for reasons, most wondrous.” Also, Whitman uses imagery throughout the poem by using adjectives. For tone, the poem is positive because of the words that are used like “love” and “beautiful”. The mood is happy because of the message in the poem and reminds the reader of what they have. The message shows is in the last three lines “Content with the present, content with the past, by my side or back of me Eve following, or in front, and I following her just the same.” Meaning that in our world there are people all around us and we will never be alone because there are people that are following us and people that we follow.
