IN MEMORY OF THOSE WHO HAVE MADE THE SUPREME SACRIFICE – VETERAN’S DAY 2003<\/b><\/p>\n
O CAPTAIN! my Captain! our fearful trip is done;
\n
The ship has weather\u2019d every rack, the prize we sought is won;
\n
The port is near, the bells I hear, the people all exulting,
\n
While follow eyes the steady keel, the vessel grim and daring:
\n
But O heart! heart! heart! 5
\n
O the bleeding drops of red,
\n
Where on the deck my Captain lies,
\n
Fallen cold and dead. <\/p>\n
2<\/p>\n
O Captain! my Captain! rise up and hear the bells;
\n
Rise up\u2014for you the flag is flung\u2014for you the bugle trills; 10
\n
For you bouquets and ribbon\u2019d wreaths\u2014for you the shores a-crowding;
\n
For you they call, the swaying mass, their eager faces turning;
\n
Here Captain! dear father!
\n
This arm beneath your head;
\n
It is some dream that on the deck, 15
\n
You\u2019ve fallen cold and dead. <\/p>\n
3<\/p>\n
My Captain does not answer, his lips are pale and still;
\n
My father does not feel my arm, he has no pulse nor will;
\n
The ship is anchor\u2019d safe and sound, its voyage closed and done;
\n
From fearful trip, the victor ship, comes in with object won; 20
\n
Exult, O shores, and ring, O bells!
\n
But I, with mournful tread,
\n
Walk the deck my Captain lies,
\n
Fallen cold and dead. <\/i> <\/p>\n
