The Ode of Remembrance From For the Fallen, by Laurence
Binyon
They shall grow not 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. (When these words are read out as part of a
ceremony, the group of people present repeat the last
line, "We will remember them".)
