"They went with song to the battle they were young,
Straight of limb, true of eyesteady and aglo
They were staunch to the end and against odds uncounted,
The fell with their faces to the foe,
They shall not grow 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
Lest We Forget."
