In Flanders Fields
By: Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae, MD (1872-1918)
Canadian Army
In Flanders Fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields. (5 years and 3299 days ago)
I don't often come to the drawing contest, but saw this image in the side bar and immediately thought of the fury's song "The green fields of France". So had to come and say... Well Done.
Thank you, I'm not really into poetry, but as we have just had ANZAC day here and I love poppies, it was such an obvious choice.
Nice work and nice colours.....GL
