Will ye go to Flanders?

[ Bit of Background music/sounds. Note: turn the volume of the right one down a bit. Unless you have a perfect hearing and you can hear the song between the sounds of war.]

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.



Bit made in honor last week's première of '14-'18, a musical about 4 friends that enlist in the Belgian Army to fight the Germans... ending up in what now is known as WWI. And of course, also made in honor of those who gave their lives in that foolish war, almost 100 years ago.
