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.

---

O say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave

---

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