Den 11.november er det 97 år siden våpenstillstanden etter 1.Verdenskrig.Jeg publiserte dette gripende diktet for cirka et år siden.Det er skrevet av den kanadiske legen Jon McCrae.
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 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.
