Which poem by Walt Whitman is often considered his most famous work?

  1. "When Lilacs Last in the Dooryard Bloom'd"

  2. "To a Locomotive in Winter"

  3. "O Captain! My Captain!"

  4. "Song of Myself"

The correct answer is: "Song of Myself"

Walt Whitman is an influential American poet, known for writing many prominent works. The poem "Song of Myself" is considered his most famous work because it captures Whitman's unique writing style and essence. "When Lilacs Last in the Dooryard Bloom'd" is another famous poem by Whitman but is often considered second to "Song of Myself." "To a Locomotive in Winter" and "O Captain! My Captain!" are also well-known works by Whitman, but they are not as widely recognized as "Song of Myself." By process of elimination, "Song of Myself" is the correct answer as it is the most acclaimed and celebrated poem by Walt Whitman.
