Whitman had volunteered in the military hospitals outside Washington, serving not only as an unofficial nurse but also as a sort of morale officer, visiting with the injured men and writing letters for them, an experience that found its way into much of his poetry. The composer provides the following notes: Here is a nocturne inspired by poetry contemporary with the American Civil War. In a prayerful tone and imperative form, Whitman pleads for calm and healing for those who are wounded or fallen. The image of the moon, the ‘nimbus’ or rain clouds, and the setting of nighttime are all key: during the night, the living recover from the stresses of the day; the rain falling from the sky is a metaphor for the cleansing of water or tears, and of course, the mysterious beaming moon is a source of spiritual nourishment.
