A TRIBUTE TO HEROES OF TEXAS I stood alone in the Alamo When all lout me had gone, The sun's last rays were sinking slow, And the day was nearly done. I thought I heard a whisper low, And turning quickly 'round, I saw a soldier standing there With sword point on the ground. His clothes were rough and fringed, His hat was big and wide, A pistol and a powder horn Were dangling from his side. I realized with a shudder That 'twas no human here, But I faced him resolutely, Without a touch of fear. 'Twas on this spot, the figure said, Some hundred years ago, That I drew a line with my sword point, While besieged by a threatening foe. I asked my men to step across, If they wished to tight with meg All chose to stay but one man, He took this chance to flee. We stayed and fought and died, he said, To aid our fellow man To fight for Texas liberty Against the Mexican. But our object was accomplished, Though our battle was not won, Ifnd the Lone Star State is free today, All threatening danger's gone. And then I was alone again, In the darkening Alamo, Convinced that Texas heroes bold To heaven surely go. -Edwin Fisk. Page 10
