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.
