Remembrance Day 2013

In Flanders Fields

By: Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae, MD (1872-1918)

Canadian Army

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 fields.
