Walt Whitman - O Captain! My Captain! Great Poems

8 months ago
83

"O Captain! My Captain!" is a famous poem written by the American Poet Walt Whitman (1819–1892) and included in "Leaves of Grass". It is an elegy to President Abraham Lincoln after his assassination. Whitman uses the metaphor of a ship and its captain to express his grief over Lincoln's death and the loss of his leadership during a critical period in American history. The poem reflects both admiration for Lincoln's leadership and sorrow over his untimely demise. It's a powerful piece that captures the sentiment of a nation mourning the loss of a beloved leader.
--
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.
