John Mccrae Sky Poems

• 1. In Flanders Field
  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
  ...
• 2. The Warrior
  He wrought in poverty, the dull grey days,
  But with the night his little lamp-lit room
  Was bright with battle flame, or through a haze
  Of smoke that stung his eyes he heard the boom
  ...
• 3. The Pilgrims
  An uphill path, sun-gleams between the showers,
  Where every beam that broke the leaden sky
  Lit other hills with fairer ways than ours;
  Some clustered graves where half our memories lie;
  ...
• 4. The Dying Of Pere Pierre
  “. . . with two other priests; the same night he died,
  and was buried by the shores of the lake that bears his name.”
  Chronicle.
  
  ...
• 5. The Anxious Dead
  O guns, fall silent till the dead men hear
  Above their heads the legions pressing on:
  (These fought their fight in time of bitter fear,
  And died not knowing how the day had gone.)
  ...
• 6. Isandlwana
  Scarlet coats, and crash o' the band,
  The grey of a pauper's gown,
  A soldier's grave in Zululand,
  And a woman in Brecon Town.
  ...
• 7. In Flanders Fields
  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
  ...
• 8. Eventide
  The day is past and the toilers cease;
  The land grows dim 'mid the shadows grey,
  And hearts are glad, for the dark brings peace
  At the close of day.
  ...
• 9. A Song Of Comfort
  “Sleep, weary ones, while ye may-
  Sleep, oh, sleep!”
  Eugene Field.
