1T was under these trying circumstances that he
composed the Star spangled Banner. descriptive of
the scenes of that doubtful night and of his own
excited feelings As the struggle upon the COM

for the flag OF his country and he asks in doubt:
Oh! say you by the dawn's early light
What 50 proudly we hailed at the twilights last
cleaning;
Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the
perilous fight,
Der the ranparts we watched were so CALAMITY
streaming?
And then. as through the mists OF the deep dmly
loomed that gorgeous banner nuttering In the first
