Descriptive phrases in bold:

O say can you see

By the dawn's early light

What so proudly we fought

At the twilight's last gleaming

Whose broad stripes and bright stars

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

O say does that star spangled banner yet wave

O'er the land of the free

And the home of the brave

Descriptive means that something is described.

Example: The banner (flag) is star spangled with broad stripes and bright stars and gallantly streaming is a description of the flag.

Free describes land and helps to clarify which land we are talking about (same for brave).

Bombs bursting in air and the rocket's red glare describes the battle.

Dawn's early light and twilight's last gleaming describe the time of day and setting.
