Crossing Brooklyn Ferry
is a poem about a man taking the Brooklyn ferry home from Manhattan at the end of a work day.  It is one of Walt Whitman's best-known and best-loved poems because it so astutely and insightfully argues for Whitman's idea that all humans are united in their common experience of life.
