Oh, say, can you see by the dawn's early light
Oh, say, can you see by the dawn's early light
what so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming,
what so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming,
whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight
whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight
o'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming?
o'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming?
And the rockets red glare, the bomb's bursting in air
And the rockets red glare, the bomb's bursting in air
gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.
gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.
Oh, say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave
Oh, say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave
o'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
o'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
