O CAPTAIN! my Captain! our fearful
trip is done;
The ship has weather’d every rack, the
prize we sought is won;
The port is near, the bells I hear, the
people all exulting,
&
&
&
While follow eyes the steady keel,
the vessel grim and daring:
But O heart! heart! heart!
5
O the bleeding drops of red,
Where on the deck my Captain lies
Fallen cold and dead.
&
&
&
O Captain! my Captain! rise up and
hear the bells;
Rise up—for you the flag is flung—
for you the bugle trills;
10
&
&
&
For you bouquets and ribbon’d
wreaths—for you the shores a-crowding;
For you they call, the swaying mass,
their eager faces turning;
&
&
&
Here Captain! dear father!
This arm beneath your head;
It is some dream that on the deck,
15
You’ve fallen cold and dead.
&
&
&
My Captain does not answer, his lips are
pale and still;
My father does not feel my arm, he has
no pulse nor will;
&
&
