Happy Flag Day!!

The U.S. National Anthem has many old words in poetic language.

The meaning is:
 Look!  There's the flag!  
Last night we were proud to honor it!
We watched it in the dangerous battle, and it looked handsome.
You can see it moving because the sun is coming up and there are many explosions!
The battle's explosions made it possible to see the flag in the fort all night last night.

Is the star spangled banner still a flag for people who are free and courageous?

dawn=sunrise
twilight- outdoor lighting between sunset and total darkness
gleaming-shining-light glowing
perilous-dangerous
o'er= over
ramparts- a wall that people made for defense

Write about the flag or national anthem of your native country.
