(Words by Francis Scott Key, Music by John Stafford Smith, 1814)
Oh say, can you see,
By the dawn's early light,
What do 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 wave
O'er the land of the free
And the home of the brave?
