which was held the Eastern Shore at Easton sew
eral poems submtted Mrs. Everhart's compo-
siton was adopted the state song 1t is always
sung at the state convention, and w. C. T. u meetings
IN general and IS used on Worlds Temperance Sun
day, in the Sunday schools throughout the state.
Several years ago this song was published in the
Baltimore Methodist think when DR.. Heisse was
editor-and then the Anti-Saoon League of MARYLAND
asked permission to it at all mass meetings
think it was January IS when that large meeting
was held in the Lyric-the Baltimore Sum- in telling
OF the meeting spoke of the enthusiastic singing of

been in the ministry seventy6ve years. and in active
work sxty-fve years.
The American issue. [volume] (Westerville, Ohio) 1912-19??, 1914-03-27
HOW THE SONG ORIGINATED

One OF the songs that gave spirit and inspiration
10 the mighty throng which, December 7 1913
marched up Pennsylvania Avenue the national cap
nto, was the above, which is the w. c. T. U. temper
-ance song of Maryland We very proud of that
song because it helping in the great battle for right
eousness and Prohibition
his song was written by my aunt, Mrs. Mary H.
tverhart, more than twenty years ago, and adopted
by the Anti-Saloon League few years ago 1t is used
by the League in all the meetings of the organi-
cation.
Mrs. Everhart has been tireess worker in the
W. L / y. and was president of the largest union in
Baltimore for many years Later she was president
of the Baltimore County w. c. T. L. She is laid
aside just now, by i'll health but is the less in
terested in the work

THE TEXT OF THE SONG
By Mary H. Everhart


\ deadly foe is on our shore
Maryland My Maryland!
His touch polutes thy temple door,
Maryland My Maryland
His hands are crimson with the stain
That tells of thousands he has slain
Since he began his cruel reign,
Maryland! My Maryland!
On thy fair soil his minons stand
Maryland! My Maryland
O ptiless relentless band
Maryland! My Maryland!
They claim our "Spangled Banner" bright
Alas its stars have lost their light,
Its stripes now scarce protect the right,
In Maryland! My Maryland
Dost thou. not hear the Children's cry?
Maryland! My Maryland!
Their hands are lifted to the sky
Maryland! My Maryland!
They sing no happy childhoods song
But refrain, how long? how long?
Wilt thou permit this cruel wrong?
Maryland! My Maryland
Hark! to thy tempted sons appeal
Maryland! My Maryland
Thy heart is neither stone nor steel,
Maryland! My Maryland
Surely thy will aid the right
And thou wilt rise up in thy might,
And put the enemy to flight
Maryland! My Maryland
Put on thy strength, o beauteous state,
Maryland! My Maryland
And break the chains ere It's too late,
Maryland! My Maryland
Blot out the curse, the SIM the shame,
truce to tyranny proclaim,
Win for thyself a glorious name
Maryland! My Maryland
The American issue. [volume] (Westerville, Ohio) 1912-19??, 1914-03-27
