Remembrance Day Song 1: In Flanders Fields

The Crestview Singers are learning In Flanders Fields by Craig Cassils for our

Remembrance Day Assembly on November 10, 2023.

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.

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.

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

In Flanders fields the poppies blow,

in Flanders fields

In Flanders fields the poppies blow,

in Flanders fields.
