" O Captain! My Captain!" that was written by Walt Whitman.
Explanation:
The stanza belongs to a poem called " O Captain! My Captain!" that was written by Walt Whitman.
The stanza that says "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." describes a storm that they lived during a journey that has ended. The author uses repetition of words to emphasize what he is expressing. A common example of this could be seen when the narrator repeats the words "captain" and "heart". Then it is clearly seen a happy mood in this stanza and it has to do with the happiness of the moment.
In this excerpt, Whitman uses the following imagery in describing the Captain: "his lips are pale and still". It creates the mixed mood of dignity (still, motionless lips, the same ones that used to move the whole nation with their voice), and fear (they are pale because they are dead, and the future of their cause is uncertain). The connotations used in the diction support this imagery with words and phrases such as "fearful trip", "mournful tread". Another imagery, very similar in working and effect, is "my Captain lies, fallen cold and dead". This imagery supports the disturbing and solemn mood in the poem, as America was at a crossroads at this moment, having lost Lincoln. The speaker is grateful to Lincoln, but at the same time worried about America's imminent future, without this great leader.
With these words, the author is relating a story but this story works as a metaphor of the lifetime: at the end, the most important part of the life is the journey, not the final result because, being the end, we really don’t know what happens next. Thus, live thinking always in the future is, at least for the author, not working to have a good life; on the contrary, doing this we only live having bad surprises and bad times of surprise and this is what he meants to say.
Explanation:
In this poetical composition the author presents, trough words, principally three different images: the first one is related to a happy and encouraging moment: the arrival of a ship from a long journey:
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
The second image is about doubt and suspense because they are arriving in a land that is, apparently, waiting for them; here the poetical environment looks tense and in expectation:
While follow eyes the steady keel, the vessel grim and daring
The third and last image is sad and fatalist; no matter all the efforts made before it ends with a tragedy feeling: the captain of the ship is dead, what causes first impact and surprise and then sadness and melancholy:
But O heart! heart! heart!
Or the bleeding drops of red,
Where on the deck my Captain lies,
Fallen cold and dead.
With these words, the author is relating a story but this story works as a metaphor of the lifetime: at the end, the most important part of the life is the journey, not the final result because, being the end, we really don’t know what happens next. Thus, live thinking always in the future is, at least for the author, not working to have a good life; on the contrary, doing this we only live having bad surprises and bad times of surprise and this is what he meants to say.
The author is happy the battle is won. The ship is reaching the docks, but at the time the author is also dissappointed. The captain of the ship died fighting against the enemy.

Because if the farmers left the man would be alone with nobody to protect them

Explanation:
Imagery, is a literary resource that allows the author of a work to use several adjectives and words that expand the way he describes situations and things that are within the narrative, in order to intensify the five senses of the readers, such as smell, sight, hearing and tact, in relation to what is being narrated and written.
Explanation:
In the first stanza, the poet describes the cheer, ecstasy, and celebration, because they’ve reached ashore. However, their celebration is halfhearted, as their captain is cold and lifeless. He has lost his life in a bid to sail the ship ashore. He tells the captain that they’ve passed all hurdles, high tides, and achieved what they were looking for. However, their much-loved captain no longer lives to see their dream come true.
Many times he addresses the captain as his ‘father’, beckoning him to rise up and participate in the celebrations. However, as he watches the cheering crowd, his ‘father’ figure still rests lifeless in his arms. He calls to the captain to get up and witness their victory. However, it is all in vain, as he knows that he will not respond. Still something in his heart prays for a miracle. This poem has a rhyming pattern, which is very unusual of his other free-verse poems.
This poem depicts his deep admiration for the honorable president. This is one of the elegy poems by Whitman. It depicts the successful end of the Civil War, and also the way it came to an end. An advocate of democracy, Whitman had deep faith in Lincoln. His death was mourned by millions, and there were many mourning poems written in his memoir. Just as the Civil War had almost come to an end, his captain, the president, was assassinated.
Though the mood is festive among the sailors, the poet has a heavy heart, and is in a dilemma whether to celebrate the achievement of their dream or mourn over the loss of their beloved captain. Lincoln’s death evidently impacted Whitman, like millions of other Americans. The martyr could not live to witness success of his dream.
