O Captain! My Captain!
Walt Whitman
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:
But O heart! heart! heart!
O the bleeding drops of red,
Where on the deck my Captain lies,
Fallen cold and dead.
O Captain! my Captain! rise up and hear the bells;
Rise up—for you the flag is flung—for you the bugle trills;
For you bouquets and ribbon'd wreaths—for you the shores a-crowding;
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've fallen cold and dead.
My Captain does not answer, his lips are pale and still;
My father does not feel my arm, he has no pulse nor will;
The ship is anchor'd safe and sound, its voyage closed and done;
From fearful trip, the victor ship, comes in with object won;
Exult, O shores, and ring, O bells!
But I, with mournful tread,
Walk the deck my Captain lies,
Fallen cold and dead.
以下是漢語:
哦,船長,我的船長!
惠特曼
江楓譯
哦.船長,我的船長!我們險惡的航程已經告終,
我們的船安渡過驚濤駭浪,我們尋求的獎賞已贏得手中。
港口已經不遠,鐘聲我已聽見,萬千人眾在歡呼吶喊,
目迎著我們的船從容返航,我們的船威嚴而且勇敢。
可是,心啊!心啊!心啊!
哦.殷紅的血滴流瀉,
在甲板上,那裏躺著我的船長,
他已倒下,已死去,已冷卻。
哦,船長,我的船長!起來吧,請聽聽這鐘聲,
起來,——旌旗,為妳招展——號角,為妳長鳴。
為妳.岸上擠滿了人群——為妳,無數花束、彩帶、花環。
為妳,熙攘的群眾在呼喚,轉動著多少殷切的臉。
這裏,船長!親愛的父親!
妳頭顱下邊是我的手臂!
這是甲板上的壹場夢啊,
妳已倒下,已死去,已冷卻。
我們的船長不作回答,他的雙唇慘白、寂靜,
我的父親不能感覺我的手臂,他已沒有脈搏、沒有生命,
我們的船已安全拋錨碇泊,航行已完成,已告終,
勝利的船從險惡的旅途歸來,我們尋求的已贏得手中。
歡呼,哦,海岸!轟鳴,哦,洪鐘!
可是,我卻輕移悲傷的步履,
在甲板上,那裏躺著我的船長,
他已倒下,已死去,已冷卻。
