     “Home on the range”

                        (Bruoster M. Higley / Daniel E. Kelly)

Oh, give me a home

Where the buffalo roam,

Where the deer and the antelope play,

Where seldom is heard a discouraging word,

And the skies are not cloudy all day.

Home, home on the range

Where the deep and the antelope play,

Where seldom is heard a discouraging word,

And the skies are not cloudy all day.

Музыкальная пауза гимн США “The Star-Spangled Banner”:

Oh, say can you see,

By the down’s early light,

What so proudly we hail’d

At the twilight’s last gleaming?

Whose broad stripes and bright stars

Thro’ the perilous fight,

O’er the ramparts we watch’d

Were so gallantly streaming?

And the rockets’ red glare,

The bombs bursting in air,

Gave proof thro’ the night

That our Flag was still there.

Oh, say does that

Star-Spangled Banner

Yet wave,

O’er the land of the free,

And home of the brave?
