He will therefore seek to establish for his country in the eyes of the world, such a character as shall make her not unworthy of the name of a Christian nation.
Francis Scott Key Quotes
O 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, through the clouds of the fight, O’er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming! And the rocket’s 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 O’er the land of the free, and the home of the brave?
