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 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 wa-ave.
O'er the land of the free
and the home of the brave?
