IN FLANDERS FIELDS WHERE 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 FORM 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.

SOLEMN THE DRUMS THRILL:
DEATH AUGUST AND ROYAL,
SINGS SORROW UP
INTO IMMORTAL, SPHERES.

THERE IS MUSIC IN THE MIDST OF DESOLATION
AND A GLORY THAT SHINES UPON OUR TEARS.
THEY WENT WITH SONGS TO THE BATTLE, THEY WERE YOUNG,
STRAIGHT OF LIMB, TRUE OF EYE, STEADY AND AGLOW.

THEY WERE STAUNCH TO THE END AGAINST ODDS UNCOUNTED,
THEY FELL WITH THEIR FACES TO THE FOE.
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.
