Those men, should they think that we have forgotten,
Have faith that we have not.
That we remain altered by their alteration
Touched by a life lived from their own living
Sheltered by a world that could not give them rest in heavy weathers.
Those men hide now in each one of us
In some foreign part not of land, yet in our blood
Giving life still from their painful death.
So that we now should not once forget,
Those men who fought and died for us.
