ode to the fallen
The Ode comes from 'For the Fallen', a poem by the English poet and writer Laurence Binyon and was published in London in the Winnowing Fan; Poems of the Great War in 1914. The Ode used is the fourth stanza of the poem.
"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 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."
Naval ode
The Naval Ode is often attributed to the English poet Laurence Binyon. While the second verse comes from Binyon’s tribute ‘For the Fallen’ extensive research has failed to find authorship to the opening verse which may well have come from an earlier author.
"They have no grave but the cruel sea,
No Flowers lay at their head,
A rusty hulk is their tombstone,
Afast on the ocean bed,
On every occasion while caps afloat,
They have no crosses row to row,
But those who sleep beneath the sea,
We will remember them."
