The StarSpangled Banner

1
The Star-Spangled Banner Oh, 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 watched,
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?
