Iegie +s f iifi"‘"fl“ s wl flls ‘ glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie * In Filanders® fields. Take up our quarrel ’ith the foc, To you from failing hands we throw The Torchâ€" be yours tohold it high ; If ye break faith with us who die. We shall not sleep though poppies (Written for the Review by J. A. Ferguson, Holstein, for Empire Day, 1919) Pte. John M. Ledingham In Flanders‘ fielkde felt dawn, All honor to the dead who lie * In Flanders fields" where " poppies hlow," We still must hold the * torch ‘ on high, Which they with * failing hands," did throw. Th»y sleep beside unnumbered s‘ain, Beneath the bloodâ€"stained soi. of France ; On rolling slope and open plain, In the vast wake of war‘s advance. They dared that avalanche of death ; To its demands they bared their breast, And Freedomâ€"in their dying breath, Aroseâ€"their valor to attest. It is enough, they gave their all, Now sorrow dwells where once they smiled, And oft those happy days recall When frugal labor time beguiled Where widowed mothers sadly weep And lonely shed the silent tear, While soothing restless babes to sleep, A And comforting the child in fear. Sad fruits of Warâ€"our heritage Those stricken homes with many needs, Let it be writ on history‘s page, 5 We paid the debt with timeiy deeds Where hopes are crushed by Death‘s fell blow And hearts cast down in silent grief, Let sympathetic bearts o‘erflow To find a baim that gives relief When angels come from worlds unknown, To stem the tidalâ€"wave of tears, Then is the time Love to enthrone And light the n‘ght of former years. Tread lightly, friends, where sorrow reigns ; Step softly near that sacred shrine ; Let not our mirth increase the pains, That shoot like darts through hearts that pine. Where angels lead we‘l follow near, And render help with love‘s glad hand ; And kind‘y deeds, with words that cheer, Will fill with joy our native land. The torch ye_thiwew to us is caught, ‘Ten million h‘ln_(_hr\vill hold it high, Ana Freedom‘s light shall never die fe‘ve learned the lesson that ye Amenca J Answer (By R. W. Lillard) 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, And poppies blowing overhead, Where once his own lifeblood ran red, & So let your rest be sweet and deep In Flanders® Fields.
