AMERICA'S ANSWER, by R. W. LILLARD First Line: Rest ye in peace, ye flanders dead! Last Line: In flanders fields. Variant Title(s): America's Reply Subject(s): Holidays; Patriotism; Veterans Day | ||||||||
REST YE in peace, ye Flanders dead. The fight that ye so bravely led We've taken up. And we will keep True faith with you who lie asleep With each a cross to mark his bed, In Flanders fields. Fear not that we have died for naught. The torch ye threw to us we caught. Ten million hands will hold it high, And Freedom's light shall never die! We've learned the lesson that we taught In Flanders fields. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE CHRIST OF THE ANDES by EDWIN MARKHAM DRAW THE SWORD, O REPUBLIC by EDGAR LEE MASTERS MEMORIAL DAY by WILLIAM E.
