What so proudly we hail'd at h twi-

Whose broad stripes and bright stars,
through the clouds of the hight,

CALAMITY streaming!
And the rockets red glare, the bombs

On that shore dimly seen through the

Where the foes naughty host In dreao

What is that which the breeze oer tne

Now it catches the CLEAN OF the morn

IN full glory reflected now shines on

That the havoc of war n tne pa''ie :

Praise the power that hath MADE an
