By San Jacinto’s battle won ?
Can you look on with careless eye,
Regardless of your sacred [right, .
Or strive a shameful peace to buy?
Up, men of Texas, to the fight. . -
Oh bitter shame and deep disgrace!
, Shall Texas’ Star e’er sink so low,
That you should fear such foes to face,
Forgetful of the Alamo ?
Or offer, coward like, to pay
. Five Millions for your conquered right?
Rouse, rouse your minds without delay.
Up, men of Texas, to the fight.
Ye strove before in honored time,
And well your rifles told the tale,
Will Texians now yield up their clime,
Or let their noble courage fail?
Remember well the Alamo
And let the name your souls unite,
To deal destruction on the foe.
Up, men of Texas, to the fight
Tell Mexico’s degraded sons,
Their bloody debt shall yet be paid;
For Fannin and his martyr’d ones,
Dire vengeance stands too long delayed.
The blood-stained soiof Goliad
Still rises darkling on your sight,
And shews the treach’rous fate they had.
Up, men of Texas, to the fight.
And think ye others will not lend,
j In such a cause, a helping hand ?
Will relatives forget the end
Ufthose brave men the Georgia band?
Will Shackelford forget his boy ?
Will not Duval come with delight?
Lo! thousands hear the shout, with joy.
Up, men of Texas, to the fight.
The "dark and bloody ground" has sons
To whom'the name of Crocket's dear;
The western hunters with their guns,
Will gladly seek for glory here.
The chivalry of distant lands,
Will aid the struggle for your right,
And joyful front those savage bands.
Up, men of Texas, to the fight.
Arouse your hearts, your flag's unfurled;
returned, they begin to, feel st ure again, sh
