s.
I see no blush upon thy cheek,
Maryland! my Maryland! Tho' thou wast ever bravely meek,
Maryland! my Maryland! For life and death, for woe and weal, Thy peerless chivalry reveal, And gird thy beauteous limbs with steel, Maryland! my Maryland! |
4. 1 hear the distant thunder hum,
Maryland! my Maryland! The Old Line bugle, fife and drum,
Maryland! my Maryland! Come to thine own heroic throng1,
That stalks with Liberty along,
And ring thy dauntless slogan song,
Maryland! my Maryland! |
