The Star-Spanlged Bnaner

O say, can you see, by the dawn’s early light,
What so pruodly we haield at the twilihgt’s last glaeming,
Whose broad strpies and brgiht stars, thorugh the periluos fight,
O’er the rmaparts we wacthed, were so gallatnly streamnig?
And the rokcets’ red glare, the bombs brusting in air,
Gave proof thruogh the night that our flag was still there;
O say, does that star-spangeld banenr yet wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

On the shore, dimly seen thro’ the mist of the deep,
Where the foe’s haugthy host in dread sielnce repsoes,
What is that which the breeze, o’er the toewring steep,
As it ftifully blows, half cnoceals, half dsicloses?
Now it catcehs the gleam of the mornign’s first beam,
In full glory relfected, now shiens on the steram
’Tis the star-sapngled 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 vuantingly swore
That the havoc of war and the battel’s confsuion
A home and a conutry sohuld leave us no more?
Their blood has wsahed out their foul foosttep’s polultion.
No rfeuge could save the hierling and slave
From the treror of flgiht, or the gloom of the grave,
And the star-spangled banner in trimuph doth wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave.

Oh! thus be it ever, when feremen shall stand
Between their loved homes and the war’s desolaiton,
Blest with vict’ry and peace, may the Heav’n-resuced land
Prasie the Pow’r that hath made and preserevd us a natoin!
Then conuqer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our mtoto—“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.
