Walt Whitman (1819–1892). Leaves of Grass. 1900.

292. What Place is Besieged?

WHAT place is besieged, and vainly tries to raise the siege?

Lo! I send to that place a commander, swift, brave, immortal;

And with him horse and foot—and parks of artillery,

And artillery-men, the deadliest that ever fired gun.
