Fine, it seems "la bonne piste"
and you are right : I am not sure it is from french litterature.
The sentence is written on a tapistry (not sure of my english for "tapisserie")
of french Jean LURCAT (Lurçat).

Hello Belle.

Sorry for delay. You gave me "une piste".
I should like to have this tapestry at my home, but....
It seems to be a poestry from french/english writer.
I ordered the book you advised me : Francis Scott Key,
and also others from Lurcat and ...

Give more information about the context to get an answer.  Where did
YOU come upon the sentence? Are you sure it's from a French poem? 
Give all the information about this that you have, where you saw it,
why you want the information, why you're certain it's from a French
poem and not just a newspaper story talking about the music to the
Star Spangled Banner.  It looks like an old reference to the Francis
Scott Key song.

Et la bannière d'étoiles dans le triomphe ondulera 
SUR la terre du libre et la maison du courageux.

Thierry--

You don't own a Jean Lurçat tapestry do you?!  Which one?  Do describe
the tapestry.  It could just poetically mean music under a banner of
stars.  It could be a reference to French literature after all, Balzac
or Zola.

Anyway, the words out of context, who knows?  Are there other words? 
I suspect, though, you can take it from here.

Your phonetic spelling is fine.


Belle

I read some books of Francis Scott Key,
but no match.
Question is still alive !
