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, thro' the perilous fightO'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.Oh, say, does that
star-spangled banner yet waveO'er the land of
the free and the home of the brave?
