The Star Spangled Banner
~ Francis Scott Key ~
O! Say can you see
by the dawn's early light,
What so proudly we hailed
at the twilight's last gleaming.
Whose broad stripes and bright stars
through the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watch'd,
were so gallantly streaming?
And the Rockets' red glare,
the Bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night
that our Flag was still there;
O! Say, does that star-spangled Banner
yet wave,
O'er the Land of the free,
and the home of the brave?
