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!                    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; 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 aim beneath your head;                    It is some dream that on the deck,                    You've fallen cold and dead.
