¨The Ship is anchored safe and sound, its voyage closed and done¨ This gives an image that a person is in a retirement home or the deathbed because he is not going anywhere.
The style is repetition. The word "Captain" is used 8 times, and the "heart" is repeated 3 times in a row, and "dead" is used 3 times.
I think the author wants us to feel grief and remorse because no one wanted him to die, bu the did.
