YE ARE NOT DEAD
"In Flanders still the poppies grow Among the crosses, bending low, On fragile stems, their cups of red Like censers swinging o'er the dead That fell short days ago.
Ye are not dead! If it were so We that abide could never go As blithely marching by your bed In Flanders fields.
Because your bodies lie below, Above, with an intenser glow, The Torch moves on; in your brave stead Men dare to bleed as ye have bled- That larks may sing, and poppies blow In Flanders fields."
