IN FLANDERS FIELD

(AN ANSWER)

In Flanders fields, the cannon boom

And fitful flashes light the gloom,

While up above, like eagles, fly

The fierce destroyers of the sky;

With stains the earth wherein you lie

Is redder than the poppy bloom,

In Flanders fields.

Sleep on, ye brave. The shrieking shell,

The quaking trench, the startled yell,

The fury of the battle hell

Shall wake you not, for all is well.

Sleep peacefully, for all is well.

Your flaming torch aloft we bear,

With burning heart an oath we swear

To keep the faith, to fight it through,

To crush the foe or sleep with you

In Flanders fields.
