ptlgrttttfi 0f Marglattii. emember, Maryland, thy pilgrim band, A goodly race and bold, from friendless skies. Who won thy birthright, and with high emprize Made thee the glory of our Western land. For a new covenant the new earth sealed. When Hope was young and Freedom not grown old, Ere Justice wavered at the clink of gold. Or Honor dropped the lilies from his shield. With stalwart arms, thy yeomen good and true Laid low the forest in its giant pride. And Plenty smiled o’er all; while side by side In peace the roof-tree and the wigwam grew. Thus through the gloaming and the woodland deep They let the sunlight in; and har est bloom Decked the fair land and filled it with perfume, And where the red deer stalks the reapers reap. But over harvest bloom or virgin bowers, Christ’s loving Blood was raised; its presence blessed Alike the pilgrims’ home, the chapel’s crest; It was the theme of all their prayerful hours. 1

2 THE LOYOLA ANNUAL And so they laid thy bases strong in Right And wrote thy largesses in words of love — The deed of knightly hearts: The Ark and Dove Again were messengers of life and light. The strife-tost worshiper at last was free, His rite no law compelled, no law forbade; The exile in thy haven was made glad. The toiler left his fathers’ graves for thee. And thy light sped unto the farthest bound Of continent and sea, O Maryland! Religion walked with freedom, hand in hand. And gave the privilege of sacred ground. O lift above their urns memorial domes! Engrave their names in blazonry of gold ! To listening senates let their deeds be told. And conned with loving zeal within thy homes. Thy Pilgrim sires ! their day has not gone by. If aught be instnct of heroic birth; Their deathless dust shall cry out from the earth. Though in its breast unrequiemed they lie! M. J. Byrnes, S. J. Fr. Michael J. Byrnes, S. J., was born in Baltimore and was a student at Loyola College in the years 1855-58. In the latter year he entered the Society of Jesus and was ordained priest about 1874. He died in Jersey City in February, 1907. Many years of his life were spent as professor in various Jesuit colleges and in exercising the functions of the ministry to the great good and consolation of souls. He was vice-president of Loyola in, the Jubilee year, 1902-03. By those who knew him he was considered a poet of superior excellence, as the above poem, we believe, will bear out.
