| {{w|The Star-Spangled Banner}}, the national anthem of the {{w|United States of America}}, goes as follows:

| <pre>
| |
| O 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 through the perilous fight,
| |
| O’er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?
| |
| And the rockets’ red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
| |
| Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there;
| |
| O 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 on the stream:
| |
| ’Tis the star-spangled banner, O 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 their foul footsteps’ pollution.
| |
| No refuge could save the hireling and slave,
| |
| From the terror of flight, or 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.
| |
|
| |
| O thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand,
| |
| Between their loved home and the war’s desolation,
| |
| Blessed with vict’ry 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!
| |
|
| |
| When our land is illumed with Liberty’s smile,
| |
| If a foe from within strikes a blow at her glory,
| |
| Down, down with the traitor who dares to defile
| |
| The flag of her stars and the page of her story!
| |
| By the millions unchained when our birthright was gained,
| |
| We will keep her bright blazon forever unstained!
| |
| And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
| |
| While the land of the free is the home of the brave!
