Senate Resolution Spurs Hasty Retranslation of Anthem

Oh, opinion can you see by the early light of the dawn
what we hailed so proud in flashing last of the twilight?
Of whom ample rays and shining stars by the dangerous fight,
on the embankments that we watched gallantly so they flowed?

And the red fulgor of the rocket, the pumps that exploded in air,
gave the test with the night that our flag still was there.

Oh, opinion does that the star spangled the flag yet the wave
on the Earth of the free one and the home of the brave one?
