November 11th
In Flanders Field
By John McCrae
In Flanders Field
The poppies blow
Between the crosses,
row on row
That mark our place,
and in the sky
The lark still bravely
singing
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
