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.


In Flanders Fields the poppies grow<br>
We are the dead, Short days ago
Between the crosses, row on row<br>
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow
That mark our place; and in the sky<br>
Loved, and were loved, and now we lie in Flanders Fields.
The larks, still bravely singing fly<br>
Scarce heard amid the guns below.<br>


We are the dead, Short days ago<br>
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow<br>
To you from failing hands we throw
Loved, and were loved, and now we lie in Flanders Fields.<br>
The torch; be yours to hold it high.


Take up our quarrel with the foe:<br>
If ye break faith with us who die,
To you from failing hands we throw<br>
We shall not sleep though poppies grow
The torch; be yours to hold it high.<br>
We shall not sleep in Flanders Fields.}}
 
If ye break faith with us who die,<br>
We shall not sleep though poppies grow<br>
We shall not sleep in Flanders Fields.<br>

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 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
We shall not sleep in Flanders Fields.
