  5. Examples In Flanders fields the poppies grow 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. We are the dead; short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie In Flanders fields. Take up our quarrel with the foe! To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high! If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields. The Testament Death I appeal your harshness Having robbed me of my mistress You remain unsatisfied Waiting for me to languish too Since then I've had no strength or vigor But in her life how did she offend you? Death etc. We were two, we had but one heart Since it is dead then I must die Yes or live without life As images do, by heart Death, etc. We Wear Masks We wear the mask that grins and lies, It hides our cheeks and shades our eyes, This debt we pay to human guile; With torn and bleeding hearts we smile, And mouth with myriad subtleties Why should the world be over-wise In counting all our tears and sighs? Nay, let them only see up, while We wear the mask We smile, but, O great Christ, our cries To thee from tortured souls arise. We sing, but oh the clay is vile Beneath our feet, and long the mile; But let the world dream otherwise, We wear the mask!
