Maryland, My Maryland

The despot's heel is on the 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 Carol’s sacred trust
Remember Howard's warlike thrust
And though thy slumberers with the just
Maryland, my Maryland

Dear mother burst the tyrants chains
Maryland, my Maryland
Virginia should not call in vain
Maryland, my Maryland
She meets her sisters on the flame
Sic semper is the proud refrain
That baffles minions back amain
Maryland, my Maryland

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