Poems about War and Peace
"They shall not grow 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."
An excerpt from, "For the Fallen", by the English poet, Laurence Binyon, 1914. The poem was written as a tribute to those who gave their lives for Great Britain in World War I.
