the bombs bursting in air,<br \/>\nGave proof through the night that our flag was still there;<br \/>\nO say does that star-spangled banner yet wave<br \/>\nO&#8217;er the land of the free and the home of the brave?<\/p>\n<p>On the shore dimly seen through the mists of the deep,<br \/>\nWhere the foe&#8217;s haughty host in dread silence reposes,<br \/>\nWhat is that which the breeze,
