O Captain<\/p>\n
1<\/p>\n
O CAPTAIN! my Captain! our fearful trip is done;<\/p>\n
The ship has weather?d every rack, the prize we sought is won;<\/p>\n
The port is near, the bells I hear, the people all exulting,<\/p>\n
While follow eyes the steady keel, the vessel grim and daring:<\/p>\n
But O heart! heart! heart!<\/p>\n
O the bleeding drops of red,<\/p>\n
Where on the deck my Captain lies,<\/p>\n
Fallen cold and dead.<\/p>\n
2<\/p>\n
O Captain! my Captain! rise up and hear the bells;<\/p>\n
Rise up?for you the flag is flung?for you the bugle trills;<\/p>\n
For you bouquets and ribbon?d wreaths?for you the shores a-crowding;<\/p>\n
For you they call, the swaying mass, their eager faces turning;<\/p>\n
Here Captain! dear father!<\/p>\n
This arm beneath your head;<\/p>\n
It is some dream that on the deck,<\/p>\n
You?ve fallen cold and dead.<\/p>\n
3<\/p>\n
My Captain does not answer, his lips are pale and still;<\/p>\n
My father does not feel my arm, he has no pulse nor will;<\/p>\n
The ship is anchor?d safe and sound, its voyage closed and done;<\/p>\n
From fearful trip, the victor ship, comes in with object won;<\/p>\n
Exult, O shores, and ring, O bells!<\/p>\n
But I, with mournful tread,<\/p>\n
Walk the deck my Captain lies,<\/p>\n
Fallen cold and dead.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
