Explain what he is watching based on what it says in the poem star spangled banner
Hereâs the poem..
The Star-Spangled Banner
O say can you see, by the dawnâs early light,
What so proudly we hailâd at the twilightâs last gleaming,
Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight
Oâer the ramparts we watchâd were so gallantly streaming?
And the rocketâs red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there,
O say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
Oâer the land of the free and the home of the brave?
On the shore dimly seen through the mists of the deep
Where the foeâs haughty host in dread silence reposes,
What is that which the breeze, oâer the towering steep,
As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses?
Now it catches the gleam of the morningâs first beam,
In full glory reflected now shines in the stream,
âTis the star-spangled banner - O long may it wave
Oâer the land of the free and the home of the brave!
And where is that band who so vauntingly swore,
That the havoc of war and the battleâs confusion
A home and a Country should leave us no more?
Their blood has washâd out their foul footstepâs pollution.
No refuge could save the hireling and slave
From the terror of flight or the gloom of the grave,
And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave
Oâer the land of the free and the home of the brave.
O thus be it ever when freemen shall stand
Between their lovâd home and the warâs desolation!
Blest with victâry and peace may the heavân rescued land
Praise the power that hath made and preservâd us a nation!
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto - âIn God is our trust,â
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
Oâer the land of the free and the home of the brave.
