"Thanks, thanks to thee, my worthy friend,
For the lesson thou hast taught!
Thus at the flaming forge of life
Our fortunes must be wrought;
Thus on its sounding anvil shaped
Each burning deed and thought."

I also looked at Smith's, An Incident,
It was similar to Whitman in the way that she sees animals and draws conclusions on life from them.
I noticed these poets are not as forward as Whitman is in his works. They write about what they see, how they perceive things.They are also more rhythmic and focus on themselves more. I know Whitman does focus on himself but he does it in a way that can be transferred onto the reader.
