FEWEST OF TI-IE FEW Written at the Alamo That handful died at sunrise here, One hundred eighty-two, That band of souls who knew no fear-- The fewest of the few. For two full weeks the seige was on, And all those inside knew For them all hope of life had gone- The fewest of the few. The cannon roared, the battle raged While yet remained the dew, That handful fought like wild beasts caged- The fewest of the few. The blood-red morning sun arose, And bloody they were, too, For they were corpses laid in rows- The fewest of the few. The infidel had conquered them, They'd lost the battle, true, But they'd a cause no force could stem- The fewest of the few. Their comrades throughout Texas heard, And vowed they'd still be true To that dear cause that they had spurred- The fewest of the few. They fought the foe, one man 'gainst three, And fought like lions, too, And gained a vengeful victory For the fewest of the few. I wonder now what hand has wrought, As by these walls I doze, The fewest men who ever fought For such a cause as those. -Charles Hucker Page 1 6
