<span>sadness since the speaker will never experience the same America as in Whitman’s day

The stanza is complex and a bit tough to interpret. Here's what it means in layman's terms:
"Oh, wise old Whitman, what was America like when you died, finishing your journey to the Underworld and having a rest in the afterlife?"

He's basically, throughout the poem, juxtaposing modern American society with not only the America of Whitman's day, but Whitman's beliefs regarding the direction that the country should go in. Whitman was a transcendentalist, which is about as anti-supermarket as it gets. </span>
