The Star Spangled Banner (USA)

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 thru 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?
 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.
 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 of of their
 foul footsteps' pollution.
 No refuge could save
 the hireling and slave'
 From the terror of
 flight and 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.
 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.
