Best Answer

Francis Scott Key's poem "Defence of Fort M'Henry" was inspired by the Battle of Baltimore in the War of 1812. The poem's lyrics were written in such a way that they would match the rhythm of the song "To Anacreon in Heaven," which together make up the Star-Spangled Banner, the US national anthem.
