Naslov je STAR SPANGLED
BANNER.
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 in 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.
Blest with victory 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!
