| =C2=A0 | IN FLANDERS FIELDS POEM
The World=E2=80=99s Most Famous WAR MEMORIAL POEM
By Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae=20
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 fieldsComposed at the battlefront on May 3, 1915=20
during the second battle of Ypres, Belgium |
