kurt weill - o captain! my captain! lyrics

Loading...

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:]1
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 ribbon’d wreaths–for you the sh0r-s a-crowding;
for you they call, the swaying m-ss, 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 anchor’d safe and sound, its voyage closed and done;
from fearful trip, the victor ship, comes in with object won;
exult, o sh0r-s, and ring, o bells!
but i, with mournful tread
walk the deck my captain lies
fallen cold and dead.]1
