In Flanders Fields First Verse First Verse In Flanders Field the poppies blow In Flanders Field 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

Continuing Flanders Field Second verse and third.
