Thy banners make tyranny tremble,
When borne by the red, white and blue.
When borne by the red, white and blue;
When borne by the red, white and blue;

Thy banners make tyranny tremble,
When borne by the red, white and blue.

2. When war wing'd its wide desolation,
And threatened the land to deform,
The ark then of freedom's foundation,
Columbia, rode safe thro' the storm.
With the garlands of vict'ry around her,
When so proudly she bore her brave crew,
With her flag proudly floating before her,
The boast of the red, white and blue.

3.

The boast of the red, white and blue;
The boast of the red, white and blue;
With her flag proudly floating before her,
The boast of the red, white and blue.

The star-spangled banner bring hither;
O'er Columbia's true sons let it wave.
May the wreaths they have won never wither,
Nor its stars cease to shine on the brave.
May the service united ne'er sever,

But hold to their colors so true;

The Army and Navy for ever!

Three cheers for the red, white and blue!
Three cheers for the red, white and blue!
Three cheers for the red, white and blue!
The Army and Navy for ever!

Three cheers for the red, white and blue!

(e) Star Spangled Banner.

BY FRANCIS SCOTT KEYES.

1. Oh, say, can you see, by the dawn's early light,

What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming;
Whose broad stripes and bright stars, thro' the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?
And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof thro' the night that our flag was still there!
CHORUS.

Oh, say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

2. On the shore dimly seen thro' the mists of the deep,
Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes,
What is that which 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;
CHORUS.

'Tis the star-spangled banner! Oh, long may it wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.

3.

And where is that band who so vauntingly swore
That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion

A home and a country should leave us no more?

Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps' pollution!
No refuge could save the hireling and slave
From the terror of flight or the gloom of the grave.
CHORUS.

And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.

§§27-29]

VERSES AND PLAYS

4. Oh, thus be it ever when freemen shall stand

Between their loved home and wild war's desolation;
Blest with vict'ry and peace, may the heav'n-rescued land
Praise the Pow'r 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 trust."
CHORUS.

And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.
