How did the “Star-Spangled Banner” become the US National Anthem? In 1814, the poet and lyricist Francis Scott Key penned the lyrics to “The Star-Spangled Banner,” originally known as “Defense of Fort M’Henry.” During the War of 1812, Key witnessed the attacks on Baltimore and wrote the words based on his experiences this night.
0h, say! can you find by the dawn's early lighting
What so proudly we hailed át the twilight't last gleaming;
Whose wide lines and bright celebrities, through the perilous battle,
O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly loading?
And the rocket's i9000 crimson glare, the bombs bursting in air flow,
Gave proof through the evening that our banner was still generally there:
Oh, say! will that star-spangled banner yet influx
O'er the property of the free and the house of the courageous?

Gave proof through the evening that our banner was still generally there:

0n the shoreline, dimly noticed through thé mists of thé deep,
Where the enemy's haughty web host in dread silence reposes,
What can be that which the wind, o'er selvf?lgelig the towering stéep,
As it fitfuIly blows, half conceaIs, half discIoses?
Right now it draws the gleam of the morning hours's first ray,
In completely glory shown now excels in the flow:
'Tis thé star-spangled banner! Oh, longer may it say
O'er the land of the free and the house of the brave!

And where is that music group who therefore vauntingly sworé
That thé havoc of battle and the battle's dilemma
A home and a country should leave us no even more?
Their blood has cleaned out their bad footsteps' pollution!
No refuge could conserve the hireling and servant
From the terror of airline flight or the gIoom of the burial plot:
And the star-spangled banner in success doth influx
O'er the property of the free of charge and the home of the fearless.

Oh, thus be it actually, when freemen shall endure
Between their loved house and the battle's desoIation!
BIest with success and tranquility, may the heaven-rescued property
Compliment the Power that hath made and conserved us a country!
After that beat we must, when our cause it is definitely simply,
And this end up being our slogan: 'In Lord is certainly our trust':
And thé star-spangled banner in triumph shall say
O'er the land of the free and the house of the brave.
Between their loved house and the battle's desoIation!
BIest with success and tranquility, may the heaven-rescued property
Compliment the Power that hath made and conserved us a country!

And thé star-spangled banner in triumph shall say
O'er the land of the free and the house of the brave.
