LEST WE FORGET

LEST WE FORGET

They went with songs to the battle 
they were young.Straight of limb
true of eyes, steady and aglow

They were staunch to the end
against odds uncounted
They fell with their faces to the foe

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

They mingle not with their laughing comrades again
They sit no more at familiar tables of home
They have no lot in our labour of the day-time
They sleep beyond England's foam

Lest We Forget
