They laid him low in Flanders field.
The boy knew so we'll:
And now his grave the poppies shield.
Near where our hero fell.
Tho young, with all his native pride
He heard the call that came,
And like a patriot he died
Amid the battle fame.
The reason why to him was plain.
His flag the story told,
Nor did he deem his service vain
In trenches damp and cold.
lie loved the freeman's native air,
It's JOYS and peace he knew,
For which he did the hardships bear.
And died a soldier true.
Nor did he fail to understand
Ger there on Flanders field
The meaning of a service grand,
That harvest great should yield!
He knew the why with comrades brave
Who fought beside him there,
That they for right and freedom gave
Their all. the soldiers share.
All, statesmen now that war Is DER,
Hold to the reason why
Were sent our boys to fields of gore,
AS heroes there to die!
It's peace we want with justice strong
A court where all mankind
May ever meet to right the wrong,
And show fraternal mind.
And. too, hold faith with soldiers who
Have war for freedom won
They fought and died to urge anew
Tho soul of freedom on.
For him who died on Flanders field.
our soldier brave and good.
May Stars and Stripes forever shield
| His loyal brotherhood.
