"We Will Remember Them"

Taken just before sunrise in Stowe Landscape Gardens. With proud thanksgiving, a mother for her children, England mourns for her dead across the sea. Flesh of her flesh they were, spirit of her spirit, Fallen in the cause of the free. Solemn the drums thrill: Death August and royal Sings sorrow up into immortal spheres. There is music in the midst of desolation And a glory that shines upon our tears. They went with songs to the battle, they were young, Straight of limb, true of eye, 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. For The Fallen Poem by Robert Laurence Binyon (1869-1943), published in The Times newspaper on 21 September 1914 Also, added to Sight and Sound : Pictures & Music ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ Listen here ~ For the Fallen - Hayley Westenra
