	 United States, your banner wears
 Two emblems--one of fame;
  Alas! the other that it bears
   Reminds us of your shame.
    Your banner's constellation types
     White freedom with its stars,

	 Oh! say can you see by the dawn's early light
 What so proudly we hail'd at the twilight's last gleaming,
  Whose stripes and bright stars, thro' the perilous fight,
   O'er the ramparts we watch'd, were so gallantly streaming;
    And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
     Gave proof thro' the night that our flag was still there!
      Oh! say, does that star spangled banner yet wave,
       O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

	 A moth-eaten rag on a worm-eaten pole,
 It does not look likely to stir a man's soul.
  'Tis the deeds that were done 'neath the moth-eaten rag,
   When the pole was a staff, and the rag was a flag.
