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 the free
And the home of the brave?
On the shore dimly seen
Through the mists of the deep
