"They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:

 

Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.

 

At the going down of the sun and in the morning

 

We will remember them."

In Flanders Fields

 

By: Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae, MD (1872-1918)

 

Canadian Army

 

 

 

 

 

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 amid the guns below.

 

We are the Dead. Short days ago

 

We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset 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.
