"But O heart! heart! heart! O the bleeding drops of red..." |

| Bio: | My last LiveJournal didn't work out so well: I was planning on deleting it and starting anew, but I couldn't remember my password or which of my emails I had registered under. Here's a lovely little poem that I adore (as so many others do, I'm sure): O CAPTAIN! MY CAPTAIN! Walt Whitman (1819-1892) O Captain! my Captain! our fearful trip is done, The ship has weathered 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. 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 ribboned wreaths--for you the shores a-crowding, For you they call, the swaying mass, their eager faces turning; Here Captain! dear father! This arm beneath your head! It is some dream that on the deck You've fallen cold and dead. 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 anchored safe and sound, 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 mournful tread, Walk the deck my Captain lies, Fallen cold and dead. I first heard it from my grandpa when I was three. Then he passed away, and the next time I picked up his books was when I was eleven, looking for suitable material to read in a speech competition. Needless to say, I didn't make it past the first round. I wonder why? Two other favorite poems of mine are The Tyger, by William Blake and Fugue of Death, by Paul Celan. If you wish to find out anything else about me, I would appreciate it if you were to read my journal. Tapadh leibh! | ||||
