O to speed where there is space enough and air enough at last!

Walt Whitman

One Hour to Madness and Joy, 1860.

O Captain! my Captain! our fearful trip is done,
The ship has weather'd every rack, the prize we sought is won,
The port is near, the bells I hear, the people all exulting,
While follow eyes the steady keel, the vessel grim and daring;

Walt Whitman

First four lines of O Captain! my Captain!, 1865.

Of course the captain is not a flying pilot. And indeed, the poem isn’t about a ship's captain at all, but is an extended metaphor about the death of U.S. president Abraham Lincoln.

O Captain! my Captain! .
