"O Captain! My Captain!" is an elegy for Abraham Lincoln written by Walt Whitman, who worked as a clerk and army hospital nurse during the Civil War. The Captain of the poem is Lincoln, and the ship represents the United States, brought safely through the storm of war. In the poem, Whitman juxtaposes the people's joy at the end of the war with his grief at the assassination of the President. (Summary by Laurie Anne Walden) (0 hr 36 min)

The 1st line is what I say to every taxi driver & none of them have realised what condition the captain is actually in! Ah well...theres alwaya a 1st time. Well spoken narrators, well pronounced by all as theres some words that are a bit tricky in this poem.
