THE STAR SPANGLED BANNER Aud/enee will l(indlu rise and sing

0 say, can y ou see, by the dawn's early light, What so proudly we hailed at the t wilight's last gleaming.

Whose broad stripes and bright stars, through the perilous fight 0' er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming]

And the roclcets' red glare, the bombs burst ing in air, Gave proof t hrough the night that our flag was still t here:

0 say, does that star-spangled banner y et wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.
