“THE
STAR-SPANGLED BANNER”
By Francis Scott Key
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,
through the perilous fight,
O’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.
O say, does that
Star-Spangled Banner yet wave,
O’er the land of the
free and the home of the brave?
On the shore, dimly seen through the mists
of the deep,
Where the foe’s haughty host
in dread silence reposes,
What is that which the breeze, o’er the
towering steep,
As it fitfully glows, now conceals, now
discloses?
Now it catches the gleam of the morning’s
first beam,
In full glory reflected now shines on the
stream:
‘Tis
the Star-Spangled Banner! O long may it wave
O’er the land of the
free and the home of the brave.
And where is that band who so vauntingly swore
That the havoc of war and the battle’s confusion
A home and a country should leave us no
more?
Their blood has wiped out their foul
footstep’s pollution.
No refuge could save the hireling and
slave
From the terror of flight, or the gloom of
the grave:
And the Star-Spangled Banner in triumph
doth wave
O’er the land of the
free and the home of the brave.
Oh! thus be it
ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved homes and the war’s
desolation!
Blest with victory and peace, may the
heaven-rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved
us a nation.
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is
just,
And this be out
motto: “In God is our trust,”
And the Star-Spangled Banner in triumph
shall wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of
the brave!
