He finds that humans don't have those qualities which are shown by the animals such as signs of love, quietness, kindness, selflessness, honesty, patience, sympathy etc.The poem, "Animals" by Walt Whitman is a comparison between animals and humans.
In his poem, he shows how animals are better than humans as they are more empathetic than humans. He says that animals also have feelings just like humans, however, their way of expression is better than humans.
He says that humans have lost the true meaning of life in this fast paced life while animals still enjoy the true beauty of life and nature. He says that animals are calm and self-contained. They are happy with the resources they have. They do not criticise what they already have like humans. He says that the humans have lost their sanity while chasing the material goods.
they don't weep for their sins at night
they have taken those values which the port and other human beings had lost on their way
so animals don't cry and don't care about their past happening
they are just cool as they are
