It honors the six survivors killed by Santa Anna and lauds horsemen riding from the poplar shade in a swift, relentless charge. The verse recalls the gallant defense and the riders' final words, praising courage and sacrifice.

Perversion of Justice and a Fraudulent Court
An elderly narrator recalls a dubious case of highway robbery and assault that led to a trial sabotaged by bias and legal missteps. A farmhand Chris, aided by two locals, identified a suspect, but the Squire ruled evidence incompetent. The accused were acquitted or exonerated, while the real culprits faced uneven punishment and local influence. The tale ends with questions about justice and the law.
