If I ever go back to BaltimoreA
The city of MarylandB
I shall miss again as I missed beforeA
A thousand things of the world in storeA
The story standing in every doorA
That beckons with every handC
-
I shall not know where the bonds were rivenD
And a hundred faiths set freeE
Where a wandering cavalier had givenD
Her hundredth name to the Queen of HeavenD
And made oblation of feuds forgivenD
To Our Lady of LibertyE
-
I shall not travel the tracks of fameF
Where the war was not to the strongG
When Lee the last of the heroes cameF
With the Men of the South and a flag like flameF
And called the land by its lovely nameF
In the unforgotten songG
-
If ever I cross the sea and strayH
To the city of MarylandB
I will sit on a stone and watch or prayH
For a stranger's child that was there one dayH
And the child will never come back to playH
And no one will understandC
