Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from In the Shadow of the Alamo: A Garland of Lyrics for San Antonio's Bicentenary, Nineteen Hundred and Eighteen
There in the marble whiteness of a glorious Southern night She stands, in clear relief against the sky, Above her walls the Lone Star dances in the fairy light, Around her battlements the night-winds sigh.
She is a silent sentinel keeping vigil o'er the town, Within her Freedom's Spirit deathless dwells; Austere and grim upon the night her war-scarred out lines frown And every stone a hero's story tells.
The moonbeams and the starshine gently kiss her stern old face And the silvery San Antonio murmurs low, And the Dixie breeze makes melody around the sacred place And tells the story of the Alamo.
