I am the poet of the woman the same as the man,
And I say it is as great to be a woman as to be a man,
And I say there is nothing greater than the mother of men.

These lines stood out to me the most. When Whitman refers to the pleasures of heaven and the pains of hell, I assume he is refering to the good and bad in life such as many obstacles we may face.  Then he talks about how woman are equal to men.
