130: O Captain! My Captain!

[exceptindreams]

“O Captain! My Captain!”
Walt Whitman

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!
      O the bleeding drops of red

Ah, one of the only poems of Walt Whitman's that I like. As always, a great classic, and I recently did a project on it. ^^
