Forget Us Not

Forget us not,
For we made our pledge for you,
Gave Heart, and Mind, and Life,
For peaceful times.

For us not,
Our cause for England's sake,
Look to those foreign fields,
Upon our endless graves.

Look to the skies,
To where the skylark sings in freedom's flight,
Piercing with song,
The tranquil morning light.

Look on, and think not of goodbyes,
But with us pledge, that we, with thoughts of you,
Gave body, hope for future years,
Man's path would lead to right.

Forget us not,
When thoughts of England flow,
When in the fields
The abundant poppies grow.

For life, gave life,
As of the scattered seed,
And this our sacrifice,
In England's times of need.
