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!

Oh, say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave

O’er the land of free, and the home of the brave.
