IN FLANDERS FIELD: AN ANSWER, by C. B. GALBREATH
First Line: In flanders fields the cannon boom
Last Line: In flanders fields.
Subject(s): Flanders, Belgium; World War I; First World War
First Line: In flanders fields the cannon boom
Last Line: In flanders fields.
Subject(s): Flanders, Belgium; World War I; First World War
IN Flanders fields the cannon boom
And fitful flashes light the gloom,
While up above, like eagles, fly
The fierce destroyers of the sky;
With stains the earth wherein you lie
Is redder than the poppy bloom,
In Flanders fields.
Sleep on, ye brave. The shrieking shell,
The quaking trench, the startled yell,
The fury of the battle hell
Shall wake you not, for all is well.
Sleep peacefully for all is well.
Your flaming torch aloft we bear,
With burning heart on oath we swear
To keep the faith, to fight it through,
To crush the foe or sleep with you
In Flanders fields.
