Walt Whitman - I Saw Old General At BayWalt Whitman - I Saw Old General At Bay
Work rating: Medium


I SAW old General at bay; (Old as he was, his grey eyes yet shone out in battle like stars His small force was now completely hemm`d in, in his works; He call`d for volunteers to run the enemy`s lines—a desperate         emergency; I saw a hundred and more step forth from the ranks—but two or three         were selected; I saw them receive their orders aside—they listen`d with care—the         adjutant was very grave; I saw them depart with cheerfulness, freely risking their lives.
