In Flanders fields

In Flander's 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.

They shall not grow old

They shall not grow old, as we that are left grow old
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

A poppy is to remember

We wear a poppy
On Remembrance Day.
And at eleven
We stand and pray.
Wreaths are put
Upon a grave.
As we remember 
Our soldiers brave

Wear your poppy with pride

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 Flander's 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, tho poppies grow
In Flander's fields.

Liet. -Col. John McCrae
