\nLest We Forget…<\/p>\n

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old;
\nAge shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
\nAt the going down of the sun and in the morning
\nWe will remember them… We will remember them.<\/p>\n

This compelling verse, which became the Ode of Remembrance in common usage across the Commonwealth, has been used in association with commemoration services since 1921.<\/p>\n

It is from ‘For the Fallen’, a poem by the English poet and writer Laurence Binyon, which was first published in London’s The Times newspaper on 21 September 1914.<\/p>\n

Here it is in full:<\/p>\n

They went with songs to the battle, they were young.
\nStraight of limb, true of eyes, steady and aglow.
\nThey were staunch to the end against odds uncounted,
\nThey fell with their faces to the foe.<\/p>\n

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
\nAge shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
\nAt the going down of the sun and in the morning,
\nWe will remember them.<\/p>\n

They mingle not with their laughing comrades again;
\nThey sit no more at familiar tables of home;
\nThey have no lot in our labour of the day-time;
\nThey sleep beyond England’s foam<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
