Oh Captain My Captain


Oh Captian My Captian

Arrayed in all your beauty 

What is greater than thou?

No hill with thine impurity

 

Thine heart is of gold

Filled with the saying Carpe Diam

Thou art so full with wisdom 

But still they proclaim your treason

 

What was it long ago?

That thou made many mistakes

But he have strove forward 

For thou could not break

 

The sky is crying 

From all of thy sadness

For the people took away

Carpe Diam, happiness 

 

Oh Captain My Captain 

Now I have the do 

For thine own inequity

Have made thee anew
