    O Captain! My Captain!

    BY WALT WHITMAN

    o captain! my captain! our fearful trip was done,


    the ship had weather’d every rack, the prize we sought was won, the
    port was near, the bells i heard, the people all exulting,
    while followed eyes the steady keel, the vessel grim and daring; but o
    heart! heart! heart!
    o the bleeding dropped of red,
    where on the deck my captain lied, fallen cold and dead

    O captain! my captain! rose up and heard the bells;


    rose up—for you the flag was flung—for you the bugle trills,
    for you bouquets and ribbon’d wreaths—for you the shores a- crowding,
    for you they called, the swaying mass, their eager faces turning; here
    captain! dear father!
    this armed beneath your head!
    it was some dream that on the deck,
    you’ve fallen cold and dead

    My captain did not answered, his lips were pale and


    still, my father did not felt my armed, he had no pulse
    nor would,
    the ship was anchor’d safe and sounded, its voyage
    closed and done, from fearful trip the victor ship
    came in with objected won; exult o shores, and rang o
    bells!
    but i with mournful tread, walked the deck my
    captain lied, fallen cold and dead.
