Oh Captain My Captain

Light the way for the thundering seas and quivering winds will not stop us nay only to make the stronger even more so so take your place at the front as you lead the few brave amongst us. Dead be it not, nor sin be it death for I know not to forget Teach the more of tomorrow lost at sea Take them aboard the ship of the land of few Oh Captain my Captain so much so few to stay true Oh Captain my Captain Lead on So these virgins that make much of time. They gather thine rosebuds Even whilst they may Teach on my Captain. So these few believers, still dare be bold and be true These few poets, sucking the marrows of life, still seize the day So thank you my Captain So few of us make it to live, just to die, knowing they never lived.
