To a Stranger

 Walter was an American poet,essayist and journalist. Walt Whitman was born on May 31st,1819. Walt was the 2nd child of 9 siblings. Walt had different careers such as he worked as a journalist, a government clerk,teacher and in addition for publishing his poetry. Walt started his own newspaper company called "The Long Islander". But a year later the company got shutdown due to his effortless work. 

 The poem "To a Stranger" is an interesting poem. I think the poem might be about how the poet loves someone and cares for the them and then how they become strangers and never talk

again to each other. The line "I have somewhere surely lived a life of joy with you" means how the person knew the stranger before or in a another life time because it say I have surely lived a life of joy with you. 

Another line" when I sit alone or wake at night alone. I'm to wait,i do not doubt i am to meet you again" means how the person waits for the stranger each and everyday of their life and the person is unsure if they would ever meet them again in their life time. 

I personally think the poem is based on Walt and the stranger he loves because when I read the poem I thought it would be about how the poet loves someone and cares for them so much
