2. 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, flyScarce heard amid the guns below.We are the Dead. Short days agoWe 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 dieWe shall not sleep, though poppies grow      In Flanders fields. John McCrae, 1915
