What Place Is Besieged?

Title:     What Place Is Besieged?
Author: Walt Whitman [More Titles by Whitman]

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.

[The end]
Walt Whitman's poem: What Place Is Besieged?
