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
Over 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
Over the land of the free and the home of the brave?
