A Sight in Camp in the Daybreak Gray and Dim is a poem made by Walt Whitman about the civil war and people who sacrifice their lives:A Sight in Camp in the Daybreak Gray and Dimby Walt Whitman(1819-1892)A sight in camp in the daybreak gray and dim,As from my tent I emerge so early sleepless,As slow I walk in the cool fresh air the path near by the hospital tent,Three forms I see on stretchers lying, brought out there untended lying,Over each the blanket spread, ample brownish woolen blanket,Gray and heavy blanket, folding, covering all.Curious I halt and silent stand,Then with light fingers I from the face of the nearest the firstjust lift the blanket;Who are you elderly man so gaunt and grim, with well-gray'd hair,and flesh all sunken about the eyes?Who are you my dear comrade?Then to the second I step--and who are you my child and darling?Who are you sweet boy with cheeks yet blooming?Then to the third--a face nor child nor old, very calm, as ofbeautiful yellow-white ivory;Young man I think I know you--I think this face is the face of theChrist himself,Dead and divine and brother of all, and here again he lies.
When I Heard the Learn’d Astronomer BY WALT WHITMANWhen I heard the learn’d astronomer,When the proofs, the figures, were ranged in columns before me,When I was shown the charts and diagrams, to add, divide, and measure them,When I sitting heard the astronomer where he lectured with much applause in the lecture-room,How soon unaccountable I became tired and sick,Till rising and gliding out I wander’d off by myself,In the mystical moist night-air, and from time to time,Look’d up in perfect silence at the starsDiscussion:The student attend a lecture on Astronomy then views the stars in an open firld.The poem discusses the difference between abstract thought astronomy and physics) and the appreciation of nature and beauty through personal observation.It could also examine the meths of observing and experiencing life to the scientist and the artist.

Whitman's "To a Stranger" exudes a sense of wonder and curiosity as the speaker contemplates the mystery and connection with a stranger.

Both poems capture a mix of emotions towards the unknown or anticipated meeting.

Well, the Whitmans are a family, and the Mormons are a religion, so they can't really be compared. I know Whitmans who are Mormon, though.

Because, the Whitmans were spreading disease, by accident
The Whitmans, a missionary couple, were killed by members of the Cayuse tribe in 1847 in present-day Oregon. Their deaths were primarily a result of rising tensions between the settlers and Native Americans, exacerbated by the spread of diseases and competition over resources. The Whitmans had attempted to convert the Cayuse to Christianity and establish a mission, but their presence and the influx of settlers led to resentment. This culminated in the Cayuse War, where the tribe sought retribution for the perceived negative impact of the Whitmans and other settlers on their way of life.
