 MARYLAND 
 
 IN FETTERS! 
 
 How beautiful in tears ! 
 
 Dear noble State ; 
 Encumbered round with cares, 
 Thy grief, how great. 
 
 The spoiler's foot upon thee. 
 His ruthless hand is on thee, 
 With manacles he's bound thee, 
 Hard is thy fate ! 
 
 Mother of wretchedness 
 
 I feel for thee ! 
 Bow'd down in deep distress, 
 I kneel to thee ! 
 
 I see thy wretched woes, 
 Thy agonizing throes. 
 And sympathize with those 
 Who'd set thee free ! 
 
 Thy tears are those of blood. 
 
 Sweet mother dear ! 
 An accumiilated flood 
 Of wrongs severe ! 
 
 Thy honor's trampled under, 
 Thy peace is rent asunder, 
 God of the rattling thunder. 
 Oh ! lend an ear. 
 
 Break ! break ! the traitor's chain. 
 
 Oh i God of heaven; 
 And from our down trod land 
 Let them be driven ! 
 
 Let Lincoln know his place, 
 Let black men know their face, 
 And from our injured race 
 All wrongs be riven !
