O Capitano! Mio Capitano!

O Capitano! Mio Capitano! Il nostro viaggio tremendo è terminato,
la nave ha superato ogni ostacolo, l'ambìto premio è conquistato,
vicino è il porto, odo le campane, tutto il popolo esulta,
occhi seguono l'invitto scafo, la nave arcigna e intrepida;
ma o cuore! Cuore! Cuore!
O gocce rosse di sangue,
là sul ponte dove giace il Capitano,
caduto, gelido, morto.

O Capitano! Mio Capitano! Risorgi, odi le campane;
risorgo - per te è issata la bandiera - per te squillano le trombe,
per te fiori e ghirlande ornate di nastri - per te le coste affollate,
te invoca la massa ondeggiante, a te volgono i volti ansiosi;
ecco Capitano! O amato padre!
Questo braccio sotto il tuo capo!
E' solo un sogno che sul ponte
sei caduto, gelido, morto.

Non risponde il mio Capitano, le sue labbra sono pallide e immobili
non sente il padre il mio braccio, non ha più energia né volontà,
la nave è all'ancora sana e salva, il suo viaggio concluso, finito,
la nave vittoriosa è tornata dal viaggio tremendo, la meta è raggiunta;
esultate coste, suonate campane!
Mentre io con funebre passo
percorro il ponte dove giace il mio Capitano,
caduto, gelido, morto.

O Captain! My Captain!

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.

 Walt Whitman 

(da Leaves of Grass, Foglie d'erba, 1900)
