Letra de Maryland My Maryland

The despot's heel is on thy shore
Maryland! My Maryland!
His torch is 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!
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 baffles minions back amain
Maryland! My Maryland!
I hear the distant thunder-hum
Maryland! My Maryland!
The Old Line's bugle, fife, and drum
Maryland! My Maryland!
She is not dead, nor deaf, nor dumb-
Huzza! she spurns the Northern scum!
She breathes! she burns! she'll come! she'll come!
Maryland! My Maryland!
