laurence binyon - for the fallen كلمات أغنية

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

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

but where our desires are and our hopes profound
felt as a well_spring that is hidden from sight
to the innermost heart of their own land they are known
as the stars are known to the night;
as the stars that shall be bright when we are dust
moving in marches upon the heavenly plain;
as the stars that are starry in the time of our darkness
to the end, to the end, they remain

- laurence binyon
