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 rocket's 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 still wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave
