I love how Whitman can relate a captain to Abraham Lincoln dieing for his
country or ship in this case.

This poem was very inspiring. Yet, I thought it was quite sad and
depressing.

This poem is one of the most serious and powerful pieces ive had the
pleasure to read... it reminds me of my friends and how much I appreciate
them and ill be there for them until the end... although this poem is
believed to be written about Abraham Lincoln's death, it is never related
to that but on a more personal level where the people in the real world are
expressing their loyalty and love for the best people in their lives...

I have a question: How would you read this part of the poem:
...
For you they call, the swaying mass, their eager faces turning:
Here Captain! dear father!
This arm beneath your head!
It is some dream that on the deck,
you're fallen cold and dead."
Is the "Here Captain!" supposed to be a phrase from the 'swaying crowd'?
When it says, "This arm beneath your head!" is it narrating how someone has
gotten to Lincoln's body and whoever it is is trying to hold the fallen
president's body up?

I am a junior in high school.In my english class I was just asked to
analysis this poem after watching "Dead Poets Society";the movie is great,
it symbolizes this poem and the history on it.
