IN MEMORIAM
IN FLANDERS FIELDS
(By Lieutenant John McRae of Montreal, whose body lies in Flanders Fields. )
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 amidst 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 falling 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.
