Árið [[1814]] samdi maður að nafni [[Francis Scott Key]] [[ljóð]] um sigur [[Bandaríkin|Bandaríkjamanna]] á [[Bretland|Bretum]]. Það ljóð er betur þekkt undir nafninuheitir “The“'''The Star Spangled Banner'''.” Það varð vinsælt að syngja ljóðið við vinsæla drykkjulagið “To“''To Anacreon in Heaven''.” Uppruni þess lags er óljós en það er talið að maður sem að hét [[John Stafford Smith]] f.(fæddur [[1750]]) hafi samið lagið. Það var ekki fyrr en árið [[1931]] eftir tuttugu ára baráttu á þingi að “the Star Spangled Banner”lagið var samþykkt sem [[þjóðsöngur]] Bandaríkjanna þó svo að sjóherinn og landherinn hefði notað það í fjölda ára.

Hér er texti þess:
 
:Oh, say can you see, by the dawn's early light,
Eftir Francis Scott Key, 1814.
:What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming?
:Whose broad stripes and bright stars, through the perilous fight,
:O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?
:And the rockets' 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?
 
Oh, 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 perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?
And the rockets' 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?
 
:On the shore, dimly seen through the mists of the deep,
:Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes,
:What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep,
:As it fitfully blows, now conceals, now discloses?
:Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam,
:In full glory reflected now shines on the stream:
:'Tis the star-spangled banner! O long may it wave
:O'er 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 battle's confusion
A home and a country should leave us no more?
Their blood has wiped out their foul footstep's 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
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.
 
:And where is that band who so vauntingly swore
Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between:That theirthe lovedhavoc homesof war and the warbattle's desolation!confusion
:A home and a country should leave us no more?
Blest with victory and peace, may the heaven-rescued land
:Their blood has wiped out their foul footstep's pollution.
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation.
:No refuge could save the hireling and slave
Then conquer we must, for our cause it is just,
:From the terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave:
And this be our motto: "In God is our trust."
:And the star-spangled banner foreverin shalltriumph doth wave
:O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!.
