"Out of the Cradle, Endlessly Rocking" by Walt Whitman is a fascinating poem that deals with the sense of awakening as a poet. The speaker of this poem is a young boy who has been presented as a maturing individual and with his development and understanding of the nature he gradually develops the skills as a poet. The poem seems to gather a different level of interest in watching the pair of birds near his home. His consciousness about the natural world and death became even more prominent as he one day found the male bird alone. From that day he kept on looking but the female bird never came back.
