Star-Spangled Banner

Star-Spangled Banner

O say can you seeBy the dawn’s early lightWhat so proudly we hailedAt the twilight’s last

gleaming

Star-Spangled Banner

Whose broad stripes and bright stars

Through the perilous fightO’er the ramparts we

watchedWere so gallantly streaming

Star-Spangled Banner

And the rocket’s red glareThe bombs bursting in airGave proof through the

nightThat our flag was still there

Star-Spangled Banner

O say does that star spangled banner yet wave

O’er the land of the freeAnd the home of the brave
