: : In Flanders Field
: : 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.
