Lincoln’s Dream: “There seemed a death-like stillness about me. I heard quiet sobs, as if a number of people were weeping…I went from room to room; not a living person was in sight, but the same mournful sounds followed me…I kept on until I arrived at the East Room. There, I had a sickening surprise. Before me was a coffin, on which rested a corpse. People stood around, gazing mournfully and weeping pitifully. ‘Who is dead in the White House?’ I asked. ‘The President,’ was the answer, ‘he was killed by an assassin!’”

John Wilkes Booth

Vocabulary words: Weathered(weather’d): to be worn away, torn up Sought: attempt to find something Exulting: to show excitement Keel: at part of the ship Vessel: a ship Anchored (anchor’d): to secure a ship to the shore

O Captain! My Captain! By Walt Whitman 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. 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.
