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.

FROM “FOR THE FALLEN” BY LAURENCE BINYON
