The Star Spangled Banner

By Francis Scott Key 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 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 [...]

The Land of Liberty

SON:Father, what fearful noise is that,Now thundering in the clouds?Why do they, [...]

Song of the American Eagle

By Author Unknown I build my nest on the mountain’s crest, Where the wild winds rock my eaglets to rest, Where the lightnings flash, and the thunders crash, And the roaring torrents foam and dash; For my spirit free henceforth shall be A type of the sons of Liberty. Aloft I fly from my eyrie high, [...]
