In Flanders field sleep on, We brave,
The living caught the trust We gave.
Sleep on brave hearts and let your rest
Be- sweet, for the living, pressed
To victorys goal; and by your light
The torch We threw we won the fight
In Flanders field!
Ye are avenged, We kept the trust,
The foe is groveling in the dust
Sweet peace hath come; its gentle hand
Rebuilds the home. restores the land
In Flanders field!
Where row row, our loved ones lie,
The larks still bravely singing by.
So rest in peace both sweet and deep,
May angels guard you in your sleep,
In Flanders 1eldi
