Short days ago\nWe lived\, felt dawn\, saw sunset glow\,\n  Loved and were loved\, and now we lie\n      In Flanders fields. \nTake up our quarrel with the foe:\nTo you from failing hands we throw\n  The torch; be yours to hold it high.\n  If ye break faith with us who die\nWe shall not sleep\, though poppies grow\n      In Flanders fields. \n– Lt-Col. John McCrae
