I agree with what the speaker in the video says when she states that “Whitman wants us to feel that he is present all around us. In addition to illustrating the idea of the cycle of life, by connecting the last section to an earlier section, Whitman is physically creating a repeating pattern or cycle in his poem. The idea of dead life supporting new life is a crucial theme throughout the poem.
