Oh, say, can you see, by the dawn's early light, What so proudly we hail'd at the twilight's last gleaming?

Whose broad stripes and bright stars, thro' the perilous fight, O'er the ramparts we watch'd, were so galantly streaming?

O say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
