They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:

Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.
If I should die, think only this of me:
“The Soldier”, Rupert Brook. The full poem
That there’s some corner of a foreign field
That is for ever England.
In Flanders fields the poppies blow

Between the crosses, row on row.
