The lark's still singing in the sky, Still bravely singing, .soaring high; Away above the cannons' roar, Scarce; heard amid the guns as yore, Before you slept in Flanders field." The faith.. with you we'll keep and, . battle with the foe; On crimson field by you we'll sleep where poppies blow; The torch you've flung we'll keep alight, With, blistering; hands we'll bravely. fight To hold` it high, to guard you through the night, And—at thedawn to guide you to. the light, When you awake from Flanders field.
