From Robert Laurence
Binyon's "For the Fallen" - the "Ode to
Remembrance"...
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.
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.
