North Side 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 amidst 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.
