For The Fallen
With proud thanksgiving, a mother for her children,
England mourns for her dead across the sea.
Flesh of her flesh they were, spirit of her spirit,
Fallen in the cause of the free.
Solemn the drums thrill; Death august and royal
Sings sorrow up into immortal spheres,
There is music in the midst of desolation
And glory that shines upon our tears.
They went with songs to the battle, they were young,
Straight of limb, true of eye, steady and aglow.
They were staunch to the end against odds uncounted;
They fell with their faces to the foe.
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.
They mingle not with their laughing comrades again;
They sit no more at familiar tables of home;
They have no lot in our labour of the day-time;
They sleep beyond England’s foam.
But where our desires are and our hopes profound,
Felt as a well-spring that is hidden from sight,
To the innermost heart of their own land they are known
As the stars are known to the Night;
As the stars that shall be bright when we are dust,
Moving in marches upon the heavenly plain;
As the stars that are starry in the time of our darkness,
To the end, to the end, they remain.
(By Robert Laurence Binyon).
Robert Laurence Binyon was born in Lancasterin 1869 the son of a Clergyman, educated at St. Paul’s School, London and Trinity College,London where he won the Newdigate Prize for Poetry. He worked in the British Museumand died in 1943.
This is one of the most famous and enduring war poems, and it was written at an historic moment .. just after the retreat fromMonsand the victory of theMarne.
As to how it came to be written, Laurence Binyon, who celebrated his 70th anniversary on 10th August 1939, says: “I can’t recall the exact date beyond that it was shortly after the retreat. I was set down, out of doors, on a cliff in Polzeath,Cornwall. The stanza “They shall grow not old” was written first and dictated the rhythmical movement of the whole poem.”
A response from someone on the internet:
“I had always thought the words in bold were words which Winston Churchill said. I think more effort should have been made to give Binyon the credit.”
For all Holy Souls during the month of November:
‘Eternal Rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them’
