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, through the perilous fight Over the ramparts we watched,
were so gallantly streaming
And the rockets 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 Over the land
of the free and the home of the brave
