Ten days and nights the Texans guard
That for, repelling undismay’d
Each fierce assault for them prepar’d
Efficient succour still delay’d
Some thirty men came to their aid;
One hundred eighty-two then count;
And this small band resistance made
Against some thousands in amount.
They yet maintain a constant strife,
Though long protracted, day and night,
Resolv’d to sacrifice their life
Before they would attempt a flight.
Hugh Kerr 1838
