THE STAR-SPANGLED BANNER
Oh! say can you see by the dawn's early tight,
What ao proudly we hulled at the twilight's lam .gleaming.
Wh.e broad stripes and bright stars through the psrilous fliiiht.
O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming?
And the rockets' red glare, the bombs' bursting tn the air.
Gave proof through the night that our flag was mill there.
Oh! say, does that Star-Spangled Banner yet wave.
O'er the lund of the free and the home of the brave?
On that shore dimly seen thro the mlHts o'er the deep,
Where -the foe's haughty host In dread silence reposes; '
What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep,
As It fitfully blows, now conceals, now discloses?
Now it clutches the gleam of the morning's first beam.
In full glory reflected now shines on the stream!
Tis the 8tar-Spungled Banner! Oh! long may It wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
And where Is that band who so vauntingly swore
That tlit havoc of war and the battle's confusion
A home and a country should leave us no more?
Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps' pollution.
No refuge could aae the hireling and slave
From (he terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave:
And the Star-Hpannled Hanner In triumph shall wave.
O'er the land of the flee and the home ot the brave.
Oh! thus be It ever, when freemen shall stand,
Hetwet-n their loved home and th. war's desolation ;
Illest with victory and peace, may the heaven-rescued land
l'raise the Tower thut hath made and preserved us a nntien!
Then conquer we must, when our cause It Is just.
.And this le our motto "In God Is our trust"
And the Htnr-Spangled Hanner in triumph shall wave.
