Remembrance Day is a time for poetry. We remember those that have fought for us and those that have fallen with the poppy, which became a symbol of remembrance because of the poem, In Flanders Fields:
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 amid the guns below.
Other poems associated particularly with Remembrance Day are For the Fallen and We Shall Keep the Faith, and we have printable versions of these. In addition, we know that many look more widely at the war poets at this time of year so we have chosen some more First World War poetry to provide a range of views and experiences, including poems by Thomas Hardy, Rupert Brooke and Wilfred Owen.
