O Captain! My Captain!
“O Captain! My Captain!” is an extended metaphor poem written in 1865
by Walt Whitman, about the death of American president Abraham Lincoln. The poem was first published in the pamphlet Sequel to Drum-Taps which
that the Civil War has ended, "our fearful trip is done." The next line references the ship, America, and how it has "weathered every rack", meaning America has braved the tough storm of the Civil War, and "the prize we sought", the preservation of the Union,
"is won".
In the second stanza the speaker again calls out to the captain to "rise up and hear the bells," to join in the
celebration of the end of the war. The next three lines tell the captain
assembled 18 poems regarding the American Civil War.
O Captain! My Captain! our fearful trip is done; The ship has weather'd every rack, the prize we sought is
From fearful trip, the victor ship, comes in with object won;
Exult, O shores, and ring, O bells! But I, with mournful tread, Walk the deck my captain lies, Fallen cold and dead.
to "rise up" and join in on the revelries because it is for him.
The third stanza begins in a somber mood as the poet has finally accepted that the Captain is dead and gone. Here there is vivid and darker imagery such as "his lips are pale and still" and the reader can picture the dead Captain lying there still and motionless with "no pulse nor will".
My Captain does not answer, his lips are pale and still;
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;
The fallen captain in the poem refers to Abraham Lincoln, captain of the ship that is the United States of America. The first line establishes the poem's mood, one of relief
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.
“O Captain! My Captain!” became one of Whitman’s most famous poems, one that he would read at the end of his famous lecture about the Lincoln assassination. Whitman became so identified with the poem that late in life he remarked, “Damn My Captain...I’m almost sorry I ever wrote the poem.”

Here captain! dear father! This arm beneath your head; It is some dream that on the deck, You've fallen cold and dead.
O Captain! My Captain! rise up and hear the bells; Rise up—for you the flag is flung—for you the
bugle trills; For you bouquets and ribbon'd wreaths—for you
