Whitman uses visual, auditory, and tactile imagery in the poem's first stanza. When he says "The ship has weather'd every rack", he conveys the feeling of exhaustion. (The ship is, of course, an allegory of America, whereas the Captain stands for President Lincoln, who was just assassinated.) "The bells I hear" is an auditory expression, which supports the people's exaltation, but also resembles the sound of death bells which mourn the Captain's death. The vessel is "grim and daring", grim because the trip had been extremely hard, but the cause was daring. "The bleeding drops of red" is a striking image of the tragedy of Lincoln's death. The blood was shed, so it was not a natural death. The Captain is "cold", which is an example of tactile imagery.
As a whole, this stanza juxtaposes two kinds of mood: the exaltation about the Captain's glorious deeds, as well as pathos and tragedy because of his death. The imagery makes the poem all the more exciting, as it lets us see, hear, and feel the speaker's state of mind - which is a fusion of personal and collective feeling toward America's journey to freedom and Lincoln's pivotal role in it.

Sub: Regarding ways to ensure the health needs of the students
Dear sir,
With great disappointment, I would like to draw your kind attention towards the carelessness of your school towards the health needs of the students. The quality of food that has been provided to the hostel students is extremely poor and unhygienic making them ill. A healthy diet is very crucial for the physical and mental growth and development of students. Thus, it is an immediate need and suggestion to have a constant check and supervision of the quality of food that is being served to the students.
The unavailability of proper medical facilities in the sickbay to the students is another serious concern. This is leading even the common cold and other illnesses to go severe which is preventing the students from studies for a longer time than required. It may further go serious and therefore, I request you to ensure appropriate provision of health infrastructure for the care of students' health and fitness.
Thanking you,
Yours sincerely,
Sophie Godefroid.
