Massachusetts World War One Veterans
In Flanders Fields
By John McRae
In Flanders fields
The poppies blow
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.
