Also what does this question mean? What deeper meaning might there be?

Intent is what the poet wanted his readers to see, feel, believe, understand about the poem.
A deeper meaning is understanding what lies beneath the actual words used.
Reread Whitman's "O Captain, My Captain." It's a metaphor for the recently deceased Abraham Lincoln. The ship is the nation and the storm is the Civil War.
