State Song• Carolina
Written by Henry TimrodComposed by Anne Custis Burgess
• Hold up the glories of thy dead; Say how thy elder children bled, And point to Eutaw's battle-bed. Carolina! Carolina!
• Throw thy bold banner to the breeze! Front with thy ranks the threatening seas Like thine own proud armorial trees,Carolina! Carolina!
• Thy skirts indeed the foe may part,Thy robe be pierced with sword and dart, They shall not touch thy noble heart, Carolina! Carolina!
• Girt with such wills to do and bear,Assured in right, and mailed in prayer, Thou wilt not bow thee to despair,Carolina! Carolina!
