I’d like to think I’m not alone it’s precisely because we’ve all heard it so many times that it’s become, for many, aural wallpaper, entirely familiar though rarely closely attended to.

Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall standīetween their loved home and the war's desolation!īlest with victory and peace, may the heav'n rescued land No refuge could save the hireling and slaveįrom the terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave:Īnd the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave Their blood has washed out their foul footstep's pollution. That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion,Ī home and a country should leave us no more! O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!Īnd where is that band who so vauntingly swore 'tis the star-spangled banner! oh long may it wave In full glory reflected now shines in the stream: Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam, What is that with the breeze, o'er the towering steep,Īs it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses? Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes, On the shore, dimly seen through the mists of the deep, O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave? Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there. O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming?Īnd the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air, Whose broad stripes and bright stars thru the perilous fight,
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming? Oh, say can you see by the dawn's early light
