American national anthem lyrics full#
In full glory reflected now shines in the stream: Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam, What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep,Īs it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses? Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes, On the shore dimly seen through the mists of the deep, O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave? O say does that star-spangled banner yet wave Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?Īnd the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air, Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight, What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming, O say can you see, by the dawn's early light, Although the national anthem consists of four verses, on almost every occasion only the first verse is sung. As a song, renamed The Star-Spangled Banner, it became a well-known US patriotic song and was made the official US national anthem in 1931. The poem was later set to a popular British tune composed for a London gentlemen's club. Key was inspired by the huge "Star-Spangled Banner" flag that flew over Fort McHenry during the Battle of Baltimore in the War of 1812 (1812-15) against the British. The lyrics or words of the US national anthem are from the poem Defence of Fort M'Henry, written by Francis Scott Key in 1814.
