Thank you so much for letting us know! Quite shocking that so many sources attribute it to Walt Whitman, although it’s easy to see why it could be confused since it is similar to some of his poems. It actually took me a while to be able to track down the all the source information on Angela Morgan. Thank you Marlene!
