-- O Captain! my Captain! our fearful trip is done;[^1]
-- 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;
-- {{< indent 3 >}}But O heart! heart! heart!
-- {{< indent 4 >}}O the bleeding drops of red,
-- {{< indent 5 >}}Where on the deck my Captain lies,
-- {{< indent 6 >}}Fallen cold and dead.
-- {{< br >}}
-- O Captain! my Captain! rise up and hear the bells;
-- Rise up—for you the flag is flung—for you the bugle[^2] 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;
-- {{< indent 3 >}}Here Captain! dear father!
-- {{< indent 4 >}}This arm beneath your head!
-- {{< indent 5 >}}It is some dream that on the deck,
-- {{< indent 6 >}}You’ve fallen cold and dead.
-- {{< br >}}
-- My Captain does not answer, his lips are pale and still,[^3]
-- 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;
-- {{< indent 3 >}}Exult O shores, and ring O bells!
-- {{< indent 4 >}}But I with mournful tread,
-- {{< indent 5 >}}Walk the deck my Captain lies,
-- {{< indent 6 >}}Fallen cold and dead.

- The author had just landed in La Guardia Airport after the flight captain died. All the passengers stood up to applaud the co-pilot. We have it in good authority that the event in question led Yoko Ono to write her "Letter to John":

- > - On a windy day let's go flying
- > - There may be no trees to rest on
- > - There may be no clouds to ride
- > - But we'll have our wings and the wind will be with us
- > - That's enough for me, that's enough for me.
