Survivor of the Alamo
"Surrender or die! Men what will you do?"President Lyndon B. Johnson, during an interview, reciting verbatium a verse from his Texas school days.
And Travis, great Travis, drew sword quick and strong,
Drew a line at his feet...
"Will you come? Will you go?
I die with my wounded, in the Alamo."
I tell not the fall of AlamoWalt Whitman, Song of Myself
Not one escaped to tell of Alamo
The hundred and fifty are dumb
yet at Alamo
