The Star-Spangled Banner: Pagkakaiba sa mga binago

 

O! say can you see by the dawn's early light,<br />What so proudly we hailed at thetwilight's last gleaming,<br />Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight,<br />O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?<br />And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air,<br />Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there;<br />O!say does that star-spangled banner yet wave,<br />O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?<br />

 

On the shore, dimly seen through the mists of the deep,<br />Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes,<br />What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep,<br />As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses?<br />Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam,<br />In full glory reflected now shines in the stream:<br />'Tis the star-spangled banner, O! long may it wave<br />O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.<br />

 

And where is that band who so vauntingly swore<br />That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion,<br />A home and a country should leave us no more!<br />Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps' pollution.<br />No refuge could save the hireling and slave<br />From the terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave:<br />And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave<br />O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.<br />

 

O! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand<br />Between their loved home and the war's desolation!Blest with victory and peace, may the heav'n rescued land<br />Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation.<br />Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,<br />And this be our motto: "In God is our trust."<br />And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave<br />O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!<br />
