In the first stanza he is saying that what they were aming for is done and though they lost thingswhat they wanted they got and they are coming home to praising people. The second stanza says that even though they won everyone on the boat is grim becuase their Captain died. Third stanza is him wanting the Captain to come back alive because they won for him and there are people cheering and happy with ribbons and bouquets and while he says this his arm in underneath his head. Then he goes back to seeing him dead and how it is so bad it's a dream that he is dead. The last stanza he says that the Captain doesn't answer him when he asks him to get up and see all the happy people. Then he callshim his father and says he doesn't feel his arm and has no pulse or will to move. Then the ship reachs land and anchors safe and sound with its voyage done even though it was scary they win. But he walks of sadly because his Captain is dead.
I think the depper meaning is that someone that he really cared about died after they all just got through something really hard. Even though everyone made it through and they won what they were fighting and everything should be perfect and the author should be happy someone who he loved, maybe his father, died and couldn't see the end perfect result. It's so bad for him he trys to pretend it's a dream and if he just wishes really hard and asks the person to wake up and let him know how perfect everything is and how happy everyone is he'll come back to life and everything will the how it'ssuppose to be. He eventually relizes that he has to move on and he starts to go forward but he is still sad.
