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!
MAGDALEN
By James Ryder Randall
The Hebrew girl, with flaming brow,
The banner-blush of shame,
Sinks at the sinless Saviour’s Knees
And dares to breathe His name.
