“O Captain! My Captain!” by Walt Whitman describes the champion ship of a naval war. The poem is told through the eyes of one particular sailor on this ship. The ship is docked and safe, and those both on and off the vessel are proud. However, the ship’s captain, to everyone’s grief, has “Fallen cold and dead” (Line 8). The one loyal sailor laments the death of his captain in words of his own.
