Interesting; the plagarizm works as a device, somehow. Maybe you'll start a trend where everyone's swiping lines from famous poems and working them into their own writing (of course it could be argued that tons of people do that already, they just don't acknowledge the source, if they're even aware of having swiped). The poem itself is pleasant enough, if a little trite.
My Captain does not answer, his lips are pale and still,
chill winds do shake the darling buds on his sepulchre by the sea
" O'Captain must I stay and wither, while you are young forever "
our love kept the rose in bloom, now dead petals fill your tomb
divine my captain it would be to lie with you on this rocky shore,
to sleep and wake no more, tasting salt from the breath of the sea
warm with the knowing that I was loved and you were loved by me.
