Hushed in the alabaster arms of Death
Our young Marcellus sleeps.

Maryland, My Maryland and Other Poems (1908)

The South is blameless; for she holds in fee
The stainless swords of Washington and Lee.

Maryland, My Maryland and Other Poems (1908)

Gentlest and bravest in the battle-brunt,
The Champion of the Truth;
He won his banner in the very front
Of our immortal youth.

Maryland, My Maryland and Other Poems (1908)

The despot’s heel is on thy shore,
Maryland!
His torch is at thy temple-door,
Maryland!
Avenge the patriotic gore
That flecked the streets of Baltimore,
And be the battle-queen of yore,
Maryland! My Maryland!
