 In Flanders, The things that marked your bloody reign, When patterned in wars tragic skein To find in death, surcease from pain,
 In Flanders A lark flies slowly overhead,

 In Flanders, A cross, akin to wayslde shrine, Looms large, in this. the fall of time, But you are dead. old pal of mine,
 In Flanders The rusting caisson rumbles through
 In Flanders, Death touched you with anointed dew,
 In Flanders, First call whnes through an eerie night, A million ghosts standto for right, God grant you His eternal light
