How to punctuate poem verses

Hi there

Not to sure if I have psoted this question already. My PC rebootted as I submitted my question. Here it is again:

Re-write the following as four lines of verse, putting in capitals, quotation marks and punctuation marks:

come back come back he cried in grief across the stormy water and i ll forgive your highland chief my daughter o my daughter

"Come back, come back," he cried in grief,

Across the stormy water,

"And I'll forgive your Highland Chief"

"My daughter o my daughter." (does daughter need to start with a capital, and does "o" need an apostrophe)
