57. From memory...
Oh say can you see by the dawn's early light
what so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming;
whose broad stripes and bright stars through the
perilous fight (o(v)er the ramparts we watched) were so
gallantly streaming? And the rocket's red glare, the bombs
bursting in air gave proof through the night that our flag was still there. Oh say does that star spangled banner yet wave o(v)er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

There are like five verses though.

I have no idea how to punctuate it. I guess holding off the direct object of the sentence is poetic.
