Maryland, My Maryland

The despot's heel is on thy shore
Maryland, my Maryland
His torches at thy temple door
Maryland, my Maryland

Avenge the patriotic gore
That flecked the streets of Baltimore
And be the battle queen of yore
Maryland, my Maryland

Thou wilt not cower in the dust
Maryland, my Maryland
Thy beaming sword shall never rust
Maryland, my Maryland

Remember Carroll's sacred trust
Remember Howard's warlike thrust
And though thy slumberers with the just
Maryland, my Maryland

Dear mother, burst the tyrant's chain
Maryland, my Maryland
Virginia should not call in vain
Maryland, my Maryland

She meets her sisters on the plain
"Sic semper" 'tis the proud refrain
That baffle's minions back o'Maine
Maryland, my Maryland

Arise, arise in majesty again
Maryland, Maryland, my Maryland
