Oh Captain, My Captain
Oh captain, my captain,
at distant shores,
how I long for your return,
wintry days and howling winds,
make me shudder and yearn.
Oh captain, my captain,
at distant shores,
spring arrives as new flowers appear,
rain mists the air with its fresh scent,
how I wish with all my heart that you are here.
Oh captain, my captain,
at distant shores,
summer greets me with its heat
as I sit on my front porch to catch an evening breeze,
rocking and dreaming of you is a sweet treat.
Oh captain, my captain,
at distant shores,
fall and its abundance of rust-like colors abound,
birds prepare to fly South before the cold snap begins,
all alone I look at the vast sea without a sound.
Oh captain, my captain,
at distant shores,
as each season passes without your presence,
my love for you only aches more and more,
I visualize you standing at our front door with your manly essence.
Oh captain, my captain,
at distant shores,
as I lay asleeping I am awakened by a tall sight,
walking towards my bed----my heart pounds loudly
only to see my seafaring husband returned home by early light.
