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 thru the perilous fight,
O´er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming?
And the rocket´s 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 wave
O´er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
