Remembrance Day.
" In Flanders fields the poppies blowBetween the crosses row on row,That mark our place; and in the skyThe larks still bravely singing, flyScarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the dead. Short days ago we lived, felt dawn, saw sunlight glow. Loved and were loved, and now we lie,In Flanders field.
Take up your quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throwThe torch; be yours to hold it high.If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though Poppies grow In Flanders field.John McCrae ( 1872-1918 )
