▲Maude's hymns were published in her ''Twelve Letters on Confirmation'', 1848, and in ''Memorials of Past Years'', 1852.<ref name="Julian1892" /> Her prose works, ''Scripture Manners and Customs'', ''Scripture Natural History'', and ''Scripture Topography'' (2 volumes), were published by the [[Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge|S.P.C.K.]]
The first collection of her poems, entitled ''Memories of Past Years'', was published at Newport, Isle of Wight, in 1852. She and her husband were then just leaving that Parish, after ten years' residence there, and it is prefaced by a valedictory address to the Teachers and Children of the Newport National, Sunday, and Blue Schools.<ref name="Arnell1922" />
On the occasion of the annual treat given to the children of these schools, Maude was accustomed to write verses to be sung by them. The year 1848 was one of widespread unrest and disquiet, and the children sang two verses from one of Miss M. A. Stodart's ''National Ballads'', and also three additional verses specially written for them by Maude. [[Queen Victoria]] and the Royal Children unexpectedly drove from [[Osborne House]] through Newport to [[Carisbrooke Castle]], and, as they returned, the school children, lining the roadway, sang the verses, which were afterwards forwarded to Osborne by the Mayor of Newport.
==Death==
Mary Fawler Maude died on 30 July 1913, in Overton, [[Cheshire]].<ref name="Desmond1994" />
