第三冊第16篇：啊，船長！我的船長！
--瓦爾特.惠特曼
O Captain!My Captain!Our fearful trip is done,
啊!般長!我的船長!可怕的航程已完成;
The ship has weather'd every rack, the prize we sought is won,
這船歷盡風(fēng)險，企求的目標(biāo)已達(dá)成。
The port is near, the bells I hear, the people all exulting,
港口在望，鐘聲響，人們在歡欣。
While follow eyes the steady keel, the vessel grim and daring;
千萬雙眼睛注視著船——平穩(wěn)，勇敢，堅定。
But O heart!heart!heart!
但是痛心啊!痛心!痛心!
O the bleeding drops of red!
瞧一滴滴鮮紅的血!
Where on the deck my Captain lies,
甲板上躺著我的船長，
Fallen cold and dead.
他倒下去，冰冷，永別。
O Captain! my Captain!rise up and hear the bells;
啊，船長!我的船長!起來吧，傾聽鐘聲;
Rise up -for you the flag is flung -for you the bugle trills,
起來吧，號角為您長鳴，旌旗為您高懸：
For you bouquets and ribbon'd wreaths-for you the shores crowding,
迎接您，多少花束花圈——候著您，千萬人峰擁岸邊;
For you they call, the swaying mass, their eager faces turing;
他們向您高呼，擁來擠去，仰起殷切的臉;
Here, Captain!dear father!
啊，船長!親愛的父親!
This arm beneath your head;
我的手臂托著您的頭!
It is some dream that on the deck
莫非是一場夢：在甲板上
You 've fallen cold and dead.
您倒下去，冰冷，永別。
My Captain does not answer, his lips are pale and still,
我的船長不作聲，嘴唇慘白，毫不動彈;
My father does not feel my arm , he has no pulse nor will;
我的父親沒感到我的手臂，沒有脈搏，沒有遺言;
The ship is anchor'd safe and sound, its voyage closed and done;
船舶拋錨停下，平安抵達(dá);船程終了;
From fearful trip the victor ship comes in with object won;
歷經(jīng)難險返航，奪得勝利目標(biāo)。
Exult, O shores!and ring, O bells!
啊，岸上鐘聲齊鳴，啊，人們一片歡騰!
But I,with mourful tread,
但是，我在甲板上，在船長身旁，
Walk the deck my captain lies,
心悲切，步履沉重;
Fallen cold and dead.
因為他倒下去，冰冷，永別。
