Vexillum Stellis Punctatum (anglice "The Star-Spangled Banner") est carmen publicum Civitatium Foederatarum Americae. Anno 1814 (MMDLXVII a.U.c.), Franciscus Scotus Key, advocatus et versificator triginta quinque annorum, cum in nave bellica Britannica in Chesapeake Sinu coercitus oppugnationem contra McHenry Praesidium in Baltimora in Terra Mariae observasset, poema pepigit. Cantus autem est "Anacreonti in Caelis," carmen vulgare Britannicum, a Ioanne Stafford Smith Londinii circa 1765 compositum. Carmen publicum in quattuor strophis constitit, sed solum prima stropha usitate cantatur.

## [recensere] Verba carminis

  I.
  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 rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
  Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.

  Chorus
  Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
  O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

  II.
  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, half conceals, half discloses?
  Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam,
  In full glory reflected now shines in the stream

  Chorus
  'Tis the star-spangled banner! Oh long may it wave
  O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.

  III.
  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 washed out of their foul footsteps' pollution.
  No refuge could save the hireling and slave
  From the terror of flight and the gloom of the grave

  Chorus
  And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave
  O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.

  IV.
  Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
  Between their loved home and the war's desolation!
  Bles't with victory and peace, may the heav'n rescued land
  Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation.
  Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
  And this be our motto: « In God is our trust. »

  Chorus
  And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
  O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.
