Oh 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! O heart! O heart! | |||
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; | |||
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, | |||
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; | |||
The ship is anchor’d safe and sound, its voyage closed and done; | |||
From fearful trip, the victor ship, comes in with object won; | |||
Exalt O shores, and ring O bells! | |||
But I with mournful tread, | |||
Walk the deck my Captain lies, | |||
Fallen cold and dead.}} | |||

Oh 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! O heart! O heart!
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;
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,
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;
The ship is anchor’d safe and sound, its voyage closed and done;
From fearful trip, the victor ship, comes in with object won;
Exalt O shores, and ring O bells!
But I with mournful tread,
Walk the deck my Captain lies,
Fallen cold and dead.
