O 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?
