Unknown Star Spangled Banner
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 starts, through 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 through 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 mist 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 on 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!
Oh, thus be it ever, when free men shall stand
Between their loved homes and the war's desolation.
Blessed with vict'ry and peace, may the heav'n rescued
land
Praise the pow'r 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.!
