If you are talking about the poem "When I Heard the Learned Astronomer" by Walt Whitman, I'm not positive but for the quiz that I did on this poem I said that he was trying to emphasize how important astronomers, their studies, and their work were especially during the Space Race.

If you are talking about the poem "When I Heard the Learned Astronomer" by Walt Whitman I'm not really sure because I think that it can be interpreted in many different ways and it just depends on the person, but I think the theme is that what everyone does is significant no matter how small it seems to somebody else.
