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!      Leave you not the little spot,      Where on the deck my captain lies.      Fallen cold and dead.
