In Flanders Fields<\/strong><\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
In Flanders Fields the poppies blow<\/div>\n
Between the crosses row on row,<\/div>\n
That mark our place; and in the sky<\/div>\n
The larks, still bravely singing, fly<\/div>\n
Scarce heard amid the guns below.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
We are the Dead. Short days ago<\/div>\n
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,<\/div>\n
Loved and were loved, and now we lie<\/div>\n
In Flanders fields.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Take up our quarrel with the foe:<\/div>\n
To you from failing hands we throw<\/div>\n
The torch; be yours to hold it high.<\/div>\n
If ye break faith with us who die<\/div>\n
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow<\/div>\n
In Flanders fields.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
