TO
MY WAR BRIDE






IN FLANDERS FIELDS


In Flanders fields the poppies grow,
 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 sunsets 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 blow
 In Flanders fields.
John MacCrae,
 (Lt.-Col.)

By permission of the author.
