Stop this day and night with me, and you shall possess the origin of all poems;
You shall possess the good of the earth and sun

O CAPTAIN! my Captain! our fearful trip is done,

O CAPTAIN! my Captain! our fearful trip is done,
The ship has weather’d every rack, the prize we sought is won

Where on the deck my Captain lies,

Where on the deck my Captain lies,
Fallen cold and dead.

I celebrate myself, and sing myself,

I celebrate myself, and sing myself,
And what I assume you shall assume,
For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you.
