Our national anthem is the Star Spangled Banner. It was written by Francis Scott Key In 1884. The original poem that was adapted into the song was 4 verses, however we only traditionally sing the first verse.

Oh, 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 thru the perilous fight,

O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming?

And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air,

Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.

Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave

O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
