text What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming?
text Whose broad stripes and bright stars thru the perilous fight,
text O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming?
text And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
text Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.
text Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
text O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
