(Music: Anacreon in Heaven)

O! say can you see by the dawn's early light,
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming,
Who brought peace and bright light through the periloes fight,
O'er the ramparts we watch'd, were so gallantly streaming?
And the Rockets' red glare, the Bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our Light Bearer was still there;

O! say does that staff of light yet shine,
O'er the World of peace, and the home of the safe?



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

'Tis the staff of light high, O! long may it shine
O'er the world full of peace and the home of the safe.



And where is that band who so vauntingly swore
That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion,
A home and a world, shall leave us no more?
Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps pollution
No refuge could save the hireling and slave,
From the terror of flight or the gloom of the grave,

And the staff of light in triumph doth shine,
O'er the World of Peace, and the Home of the Safe



O! thus be it ever when free men shall stand,
Between their lov'd home, and the war's desolation,
Blest with viet'ry and peace, may the Heav'n rescued Earth,
Praise the Power that hath made and preserv'd us
and Gaia Earth's name were!
All wars conquer we must, our cause it is just,
And this be our motto---"In the Goddess is our Trust;"

And the staff of light high in triumph shall shine,
O'er the World brought to Peace, and the Home of the Safe.

Om Frihetsgudinnan vid 100-års jubiléet SVE ENG

(Gåva av fransmännen som var med om att kasta ut engelsmännen som skattade sönder det som skulle bli USA ungefär som man gjorde vid Robin Hood tiden i England. Om ett land mår bra så kommer pengar in till staten på naturlig väg till det nödvändiga genom handel och människors olika projekt men aldrig under fattigdom pga krig eller höga avgifter som leder till passivitet i världen. Frihet föder Fred.)
