In Flanders fields" the popples 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 yo broak faith with us who die,

We shall not sleep, though popples grow

In Flanders fields,
