This poet wrote a poem expressing his love for "dear mariners" "in every leaf" of his book, hoping that he will "be read, / In full rapport at last" "in cabin'd ships at sea." This poet wrote "a rude brief recitative / Of ships sailing the seas," "a chant for the sailors of all nations," and described the "vast similitude [that] interlocks all" while watching "the bright stars shining" in the poem "On the Beach at Night Alone." In one poem, he described witnessing (*) "crowds of men and women attired in the usual costumes" as well as the "clouds of the west" and the "flood-tide below me" "face to face." In one poem, he described how "the ship is anchor'd safe and sound, its voyage closed and done," and how a certain president "lies, / Fallen cold and dead." For 10 points, name this author of "O Captain! My Captain!" and Leaves of Grass.
