My captain does not answer, his lips are pale and still;
My father does not feel my arm, he has no pulse nor will:
But the ship, the ship is anchor'd safe, its voyage closed and      done;
From fearful trip, the victor ship, comes in with object won:      Exult, O shores, and ring, O bells!      But I, with silent tread,      Walk the spot my captain lies,      Fallen cold and dead.
