Oh! say, can you see,

by the dawns early light,

What so proudly we hailed

at the twilight's last gleaming?

Whose broad stripes and bright stars,

thru' the perilous flight,

O'er the ramparts we watched

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 the home of the brave.
