In this lecture, I talk about “When Lilacs Last in the Dooryard Bloom'd" which is a poem by Walt Whitman written in response to the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln. It mourns the death of Lincoln using symbols like lilacs and a thrush bird, expressing grief and reflections on life, death, and the passage of time. The poem captures the nation's collective sorrow during a pivotal historical moment.
