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. We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie In Flanders fields. Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields.

Вновь маки алые в полях цветут  Во Фландрии. Мы воевали тут.  Теперь кресты стоят тут ряд за рядом.  А в небе, не пугаясь канонады,  Вновь жаворонки звонкие поют. Мы – Мёртвые, в земле нашли приют. А ведь могли бы жить, как все живут, Любить и любоваться на закаты… Но на войне убили нас когда-то В полях во Фландрии. Пускай теперь другие в бой идут,  Чтоб не был факел ярости задут. Пусть память о погибших будет свята, Тогда спокойно будут спать солдаты В земле, где маки алые цветут,    В полях во Фландрии.
