Lest We Forget

[towe001]

We Shall Keep The Faith

 

Oh! You who sleep in Flanders Fields,

Sleep sweet - to rise anew!

We caught the torch you threw

And holding high, we keep the faith

With All who died.

 

We cherish, too the poppy red

That grows on fields where valor led;

It seems to signal to the skies

That blood of heroes never dies,

But leads lustre to the red

Of the flower that blooms above the dead

In Flanders Fields.

 

And now the Torch and Poppy Red

We wear in honor of our dead.

Fear not that ye have died for naught;

We'll teach the lesson that ye wrought

In Flanders Fields.
