Description

John McCrae's poem, "In Flanders Field", and the red poppy he memorializes in it have come to symbolize Remembrance Day in Canada and other Commonwealth of Nations countries. The holiday is known elsewhere as Armistice Day or Veterans Day and is observed on November 11, the day of the armistice ending World War I.

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place, and in the sky,
The larks, still bravely singing, fly,
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the dead; short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe!
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high!
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

John McCrae (1872-1918)
