Birds of Passage is a set of seven poems which are part of Walt Whitman's collection Leaves of Grass. The poems are full of idealism and hope for the future. Whitman sings of the Universal, an ideal state which will transcend the misery of life on earth, and praises the Pioneers who will create this new world. - Summary by Alan Mapstone
