What do the images of grass in this excerpt from whitman's “song of myself” symbolize?

Walt Whitman provides images of grass throughout his poem “Song of Myself.” According to the him, grass represents the hopeful nature of man. It also represents a gift from God: “A scented gift and remembrance designedly dropt,” which acts as a reminder of God’s existence. The poet further contemplates that the grass could also represent the “child” of nature: “Or I guess the grass is itself a child, the produced babe of the vegetation.”

As the poem progresses, Whitman uses grass as a symbol of equality. Grass represents how people of different races, genders, and classes are equal in America. Just as grass grows everywhere irrespective of the place, all humans are equal, no matter the group they belong to.
