The Star Spangled Banner By Francis Scott Key History War of 1812 Watched the bombing of Fort McHenry through the night At dawn saw flag Inspired to write poetry Published as The Defense of Fort McHenry Later set to music as The Star Spangled Banner O say can you see by the dawns early light, What so proudly we hailed at the twilights last gleaming; Whose broad stripes and bright stars, through the perilous fight, Oer 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 Oer the land of the free and the home of the brave?
