The
Star-Spangled Banner
National Anthem
Oh, say can you see, by the dawn"s early light,
What so proudly we hail"d at the twilight"s last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars, thro" 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 thro" the night that our Flag was still there.
Oh, say does that Star Spangled Banner yet wave,
O"er the land of the free, and home of the brave?
Francis Scott Key
