"fN Break Faith

In Flanders fields the peoples blow
Between the crosses, row on row,

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,
TOyou from failing hands we throw
The torch-be yours to hold it high.
If We break faith with us who die,
We shall not sleep though peoples
