02:14 In Flanders fields, poppies blow,
02:18 between the crosses, row on row.
02:22 That mark our place, and in the sky,
02:26 the larks still bravely singing fly, scarce heard amid the guns below.

02:35 We are the dead, short days ago we lived,
02:39 helped dawn, saw sunset glow, loved and were loved.
02:44 And now we lie in Flanders fields.

02:50 Take up our quarrel with the foe, to you,
02:53 from failing hands we throw the torch, be yours to hold it high.
02:59 If we break faith with us who died,
03:03 we shall not sleep, though poppies grow in Flanders fields.
