The third verse:
“No refuge could save the hireling and slave from the terror of flight or the gloom of the grave. And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave o’er the land of the free and the home of the brave.”
“No refuge could save the hireling and slave from the terror of flight or the gloom of the grave. And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave o’er the land of the free and the home of the brave.”
“Key’s message to the enslaved fighting for freedom was unmistakable—we will hunt you down & the search will leave you in terror because, when we find you, your next stop is the gloom of the grave.”
Shocking that MO state Senator Nick Schroer has such huge feelings right now.
