streaming?and the rockets red glare,the bombs bursting in air,gave proof thro the night that our flag was still there.o say,does that star-spangled banner yet waveoer the land of the free and the home of the brave?on the shore dimly seen thro the mists of the deep,where the foes haughty host in dread silence reposes,what is that which the breeze,oer the towering steep,as it fitfully blows,half
