"O Captain! My Captain!" is a poem written by Walt Whitman as a homage to President Abraham Lincoln's assassination in 1865. The poem is a fairly short poem consisting of three stanzas; it's layout appearing like a ship approaching its destintion.
The poem starts with its famous apostrophe of its title:
"O Captain! My Captain! our fearful trip is done;
The ship was weather'd every rack, the prize we sought is won;"
