That night full envious of his life was I,
That youth and love should stand at his behest;
To-night, I envy him, that he should lie
At utter rest.
(Penance)
More Quotes from John Mccrae:
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 Scarce heard among the guns below.John McCrae
It speaks of peace that comes after strife,
Of the rest He sends to the hearts He tried,
Of the calm that follows the stormiest life --
God's eventide.
John Mccrae
Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from falling hands we throw.
John McCrae
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow: In Flanders fields.
John McCrae
Earth's love was false; her voice, a siren's song;
(Sweet mother-earth was but a lying name)
The path she showed was but the path of wrong
And shame.
John Mccrae
