Answer:

Whitman writes "oh captain! My Captain!" In the point of you of a sailor. In the first stanza, Whitman ends the line in shock. He writes, "but o heart! Heart! Heart! Oh the bleeding drops of red,". In the second stanza, the sailor is in denial that his captain has died. In his disbelief, he says, "it is some dream that on the deck, you've fallen cold and dead." The sailor thinks that the captain's death is a dream. In the last stanza, the sailor has finally excepted the death of his captain. He exclaims, "exult, o Shores, and ring, O bells! But I, with mournful tread, walk the deck my captain lies, falling cold and dead."
