“In Flanders fields the poppies grow<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Between the crosses, row on row,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That mark our place; and in the sky<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The larks, still bravely singing, fly<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Scarce heard amid the guns below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We are the Dead. Short days ago<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Loved and were loved, and now we lie<\/p>\n\n\n\n
in Flanders fields.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Take up our quarrel with the foe:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To you from falling hands we throw<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The torch; be yours to hold it high.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If ye break faith with us who die<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In Flanders fields.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
