Verse 1

• 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
  thru the perilous fight, O'er the ramparts we
  watched were so gallantly streaming? And the
  rocket's 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 O'er the land of the free and the
  home of the brave?

13
Verse 2

• On the shore, dimly seen through the mists of 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,
  half conceals, half discloses? Now it catches the
  gleam of the morning's first beam, In full glory
  reflected now shines in 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!

14
Verse 3

• And where is that band who so vauntingly swore
  That the 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 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!

15
Verse 4

• Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
  Between their loved home and the war's
  desolation! Blest with victory and peace, may the
  heav'n rescued land Praise the Power that hath
  made and preserved 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!
