'In Flanders fields, the poppies grow,
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
In .Flanders' fields.
Take up our quarrel with the feet
The torch. Be yours to lift it high!
If ye break faith with us who die
