In Flanders Fields***
In (D) Flanders fields (G) the poppies (D) blow
Between the crosses, row on (A) row,
That (D) mark our (G) place; and in the (D) sky
The larks, still (G) bravely singing, (D) fly
Scarce heard amid the (A) guns (D) 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 fields.

****** Written by John McCrae, Canadian Army physician in 1925
