Portuguese army in trenches

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, flyScarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days agoWe 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

In Flanders Field by John McCrae
