Pale and aitniy I, shons from it, orb,
on high,
For the Mexican eagle haa Gown from his
nest,
And his broad du.ky wing, overshaaowed
the sky.
As the horde. Of Santa Anna rushed on to
the fight
And up to the Heavens their battle CRY
pealed
Oh, paier that altar grew. ween, for its
light
Was eclipsed By the glitter Of heIme,
and shield.
On the spot where Still struggled a small
Spartan hand.
Who had sworn for their country TO con-
quer or die
Where the dark frowning walls OF IN.
Alamo stand.
The Lone Star" still rhons from fits
nome Ia the SKY.
How the band brsvely stood through the
perlous fight;
How they glorioVsly died. let history
tell.
But psler than ever .ha. Star shed It's l,gh,
when Travis, the TEXAS Leonidss. fell
Where the tyrant. diAmayed. from the bat
teHeid fed.
Where the blood Of his m!nions encrim-
soned tho plain.
Ger the field Of Jacnto (where slumber
tho dead,
More brilliant than ever that Star rose

In bright constellation increasingly
