5). И в самых первых утренних лучах
И при последнем всполохе заката
Ты видишь, что приветствуем мы гордо,
Чьи полосы широкие и звёзды
Сквозь все препоны битвы и сраженья,
Ты знаешь, путеводно нам светили?
И нам разрывы вражеских снарядов
Служили верным знаком среди ночи,
Что флаг наш полосатый не опущен.
Скажи мне, друг, по-прежнему ли реет
Свободы звёздно-полосатый вестник
Над этой вольной храбрости купелью?
( Перевод М.Кауфман).
