In Flanders Fields-A Remembrance Day
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qZGUt5SqAvk
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.
**********************
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...
“As GOD gave His grace to all!”
Amen...
