Flanders Fields |
Victory
The scene of terrible
battles and warfare, flanders is also known for the poem
which became representative of the terrible conditions
and slaughter on the western front.
|
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 the
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. |
