Oh, say can you see by the dawn's early What so proudly we hailed at the last gleaming? Whose stripes and bright stars thru the perilous fight, O'er the ramparts we watched were so streaming? And the rocket's red glare, the bursting in air, proof through the night that our flag was still there. Oh, say that star-spangled banner yet wave O'er the land of the free and the of the brave?
On the shore, dimly seen the mists of the deep, Where the foe's haughty host in dread reposes, What is which the breeze, o'er the towering steep, As it blows, half conceals, half discloses? Now it catches the gleam of the morning's beam, In full glory reflected now shines in the the star-spangled banner! Oh long may it wave O'er the of the free and the home of the brave!
And where is band who so vauntingly swore That the havoc of war and the confusion, A and a country should leave us no more! Their has washed out their foul footsteps' pollution. No refuge could the hireling and slave From the terror of flight, or the gloom of the And the star-spangled banner in doth wave O'er the land of the free and the of the brave!
Oh! thus be it ever, when shall stand Between their home and the war's desolation! Blest victory and peace, may the heav'n rescued land Praise the Power hath made and preserved us a nation. Then conquer we must, our cause it is just, And be our motto: "In God is our trust." And the star-spangled banner in shall wave O'er the of the free and the home of the brave!
