USA nationalsång (The National Anthem of The United States of America)
O say can you see by dawn's early light,
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming,
Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight,
O'er the rampartswe 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,
O say dose that star-spangled banner yet wave,
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave
On the shore, dimly seen through the mists of the deep,
Where the foe's haughty host,
In dread silence reposes,
What is that witch the Breeze,
O'er the towering steep,
As it fitfully blows,
Half conceals, half discloses,
Now it catches the gleam, of the morning's first beam
In full glory reflected, now shines on the stream
'Tis the star- spangled banner,
Oh long may it wave,
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave
When our land is illumined, with liberty's smile,
If a foe from within, strikes a blow at her glory,
Down, down with the traitor, that dares to defile,
The flag of the stars and the page of her story,
And the millions unchained, Who their brithright hath gained,
We will keep her bright blazon forever unstained,
And the star-spangled banner, in triumph shall wave,
While the land of the free, is the home for the brave
Oh thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand,
Between their loved home and the war's desolation,
Blest victory and peace, may the heaven rescued land,
Praise the power that hath made, and preserved us a nation,
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto, "in god is our trrust",
And the star-spangled banner, in trimuph shall wave,
O'er the land of the free and the home for the brave
