question: O captain my captain our fearful trip is done betyder?
context: O Captain! My Captain!
  Den faldne kaptajn i digtet henviser til Abraham Lincoln, kaptajn på det skib, der er Amerikas Forenede Stater. Den første linje etablerer stemningen i digtet, en stemning af lettelse over, at borgerkrigen er slut, "vores frygtelige rejse er slut". Den næste linje henviser til skibet, Amerika, og hvordan det har "weathered every rack", hvilket betyder, at Amerika har trodset borgerkrigens hårde storm, og "the prize we sought", bevarelsen af Unionen, "is won". Den følgende linje udtrykker en stemning af jubel over, at Unionen har vundet krigen, da der står "the people all exulting"; men den næste linje skifter hurtigt stemning, når den taler om skibets dysterhed og krigens mørkere side. Mange mistede livet i den amerikanske borgerkrig, og selv om den sejr, der blev søgt, blev vundet, gør det stadig ondt i hjertet midt i folkets jubel. Gentagelsen af hjerte i linje fem gør opmærksom på digterens store sorg og hjertesorg, fordi kaptajnen har blødt og ligger stille, kold og død (linje seks til otte). Dette refererer uden tvivl til mordet på Abraham Lincoln og Whitmans sorg over sit idols død.
context_en: O Captain! My Captain!
  The fallen captain in the poem refers to Abraham Lincoln, captain of the ship that is the United States of America. The first line establishes the poem's mood, one of relief that the Civil War has ended, "our fearful trip is done." The next line references the ship, America, and how it has "weathered every rack", meaning America has braved the tough storm of the Civil War, and "the prize we sought", the preservation of the Union, "is won". The following line expresses a mood of jubilation of the Union winning the war as it says "the people all exulting;" however, the next line swiftly shifts the mood when it talks of the grimness of the ship, and the darker side of the war. Many lost their lives in the American Civil War, and although the prize that was sought was won, the hearts still ache amidst the exultation of the people. The repetition of heart in line five calls attention to the poet's vast grief and heartache because the Captain has bled and lies still, cold, and dead (lines six through eight). This is no doubt referencing the assassination of Abraham Lincoln and Whitman's sorrow for the death of his idol.
