Leaves of Grass is a poetry collection by the American poet Walt Whitman (1819–1892). First published in 1855, Whitman spent his entire life writing Leaves of Grass, revising it until his death. Among the poems in the collection are "Song of Myself", "I Sing the Body Electric", "Out of the Cradle Endlessly Rocking", and in later editions, Whitman's elegy to the assassinated President Abraham Lincoln, "When Lilacs Last in the Dooryard Bloom'd". "Drum Taps"
