if( tar ttangU ISantvr Oh, say, can you see, by the dawn ' s early light, What so proudly we hail ' d at the tivilight ' s last gleaming. Whose broad stripes and bright stars, thro ' the perilous fight, O ' er the ramparts we watch ' d, Were so gallantly streaming? And the rockets ' red glare, the bombs bursting in air. Gave proof thro ' the night that our flag was still there, Oh, say does that Star Spangled Banner yet ivave O ' er the land of the free, and the home of the brave. On the shore dimly seen thro ' the mists of the deep, Where the foe ' s haughty host in dread silence reposes. What is that tvhich the breeze, o ' er the towering steep, As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses? Now it catches the gleam of the morning ' s first beam. In full glory reflected, noiv shines on the stream : ' Tis the Star -Spangled 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 vatintingly swore, That the havoc of war and the battle ' s confusion, A home and a country should leave us no more? Their blood has ivashed out their foul footsteps ' pollution. No refuge could save the hireling and slave. From the terror of flight or the gloom of the grave: And the Star-Spangled Banner in triumph doth wave O ' er the land of the free, and the home of the brave. Oh, thus be it ever when freemen shall stand Between their loved home and wild war ' s desolation; Blest with vict ' ry and peace, may the heav ' n rescued land Praise the poiv ' r that hath made and preserv ' d us a nation! Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just And this be our motto : In God is our trust! And the Star-Spangled Banner in triumph shall wave O ' er the land of the free, and the home of the brave.
