Remembrance“O Captain! My Captain! our fearful trip is done,The ship has weathered 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!the bleeding drops of red,Where on the deck my Captain lies,Fallen cold and dead.”
~Walt Whitman
