HERBERT R. O'CONOR, GOVERNOR. 971
Come! 'tis the red dawn of the day,
Maryland!
Maryland!
With Ringgold's spirit for the fray,
Come! for thy shield is bright and strong,
Maryland!
Maryland!
Come to thine own heroic throng,
Dear Mother! burst the tyrant's chain,
Maryland!
Maryland!
She meets her sisters on the plain—
I see the blush upon thy cheek,
Maryland!
Maryland!
But lo! there surges forth a shriek
Maryland! My Maryland!
Thou wilt not yield the Vandal toll,
Maryland!
Maryland!
Better the fire upon thee roll,
I hear the distant thunder-hum,
Maryland!
Maryland! |
