A line in this poem that describes the belief of an afterlife in the line about meeting again is the line: "I think that we will surely see each other again” (17 -18). Walt Whitman says this after the soldier dies and he believes that he and the comrade will meet again in death because he believes that death is not the end of eternal life. Walt Whitman also writes about death more realistically than Emily Dickinson, although his view of death is impersonal because it is the soldier's death and does not imagine his own death like Emily Dickinson. He describes death as if he were mourning the death of someone else. He also seems to regret this sorrow of death with this sentence: “But not a tear fell, not even a long sigh, long, long, I looked” (11). He is used to dying because of war. The next poem by Walt Whitman that shows aspects of death is A Sight in Camp in the Daybreak Gray and
