Oh my Captain , my Captain
Where is the gleam in your eye
Where is that sting
Wherever your colors fly
Where is that thirst
for adventure you sail
Where is that booming voice
through oak will drive nail
Oh ! My Captain
Where could ye be
Thy gaze crosses
more than the sea
Where is the man
who knows not any fears
Who cheated Death
all these long years
Come Captain
Where is thy cheer
We sail into eternity
The rest is unclear
Oh Captain ! My Captain !
Why such a sad soul
It's treasure and loot
So much we have stole
Oh Master ! My Master !
We are , and can no more be
Like the birds we are free
As long as we breathe
Come Captain , my Captain
Give us command
Give weigh all anchors
Seek ye new harbors with warm golden sand
