10 - CANADA In Flanders fields the poppies blow 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. - John McCrae 1872-1918 - Au champ d’honneur, les coquelicots Sont parsemés de lot en lot Auprès des croix; et dans l’espace Les alouettes devenues lasses Mêlent leurs chants au sifflement Des obusiers. 10 PRINTED IN 2000 / IMPRIME EN 2000
