They bowed the English Indigenous
And9acented English lanes;
They Eloved the sunlight on their
downs Ia.
And the soft English rains.
And Ilow--they sleep in Flanders
Or Wherc the sad Marine flows,
A black white cross above their
heads;
Their nameg-ah, no one knows.
They loved the life of London
With lights that cleaned like
pearls,
And theatres and taverns
And srosy English girls
Their youth was brief glory
Thatssped too swiftly by;
They left their schools and cricket
And came out here to die.
And. some were shining, poets,
And SONS. we're simple boys
Who l5ved the Surrey fields and all
Subatantial English joys.
From Eten' and from Oxford,
Fro1t many an English town
They game I'd save a world from
shame
And lay their young lives down.
In some celestial garden
Perhaps they sit today
And laugh w,as they once loved to
laugh,
PlaykAs they used TO play.
IT'S we who weep for young lads
gone; 69.
But they--they are not dead,
Though simple crosses stand above
sacttebrave young English head.
They loved, and are contepted
On windy wastes to sleep
Yet when the English daisies

Pluck them and take them over
To many G lonely grave;
For they loved English flowers
