Lest We Forget
In Flanders Fields by Lt. Col John McCrae
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
between the crosses, row on row
that mark our place, and in the sky
the larks still bravely singing fly
scarce heard among the guns below.
We are The Dead. Short days ago
we lived, felt dawn, saw sunset's glow,
loved and were loved,
and now we lie, in Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe,
to you from failing hands we throw
The Torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
we shall not sleep, though poppies grow,
in Flanders fields.
