Слайд 6

John Makrey was a Canadian military doctor. In the poem, he talked about the fields of Flanders, where goes a long and bloody battle, and after the battles of the blood of soldiers grew poppies. In Flanders Fields 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. 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. На полях Фландрии На полях Фландрии колышутся маки Среди крестов, стоящих за рядом ряд, Отмечая место, где мы лежим. А в небе Летают ласточки, храбро щебеча, Заглушаемые громом пушек на земле. Мы Мертвые. Не так давно Мы жили, видели рассветы, горящие закаты, Любили и были любимы, а теперь мы Лежим на полях Фландрии. Примите из наших рук Факел борьбы с врагом, Он ваш, держите его высоко. Если вы уроните нашу веру, - тех, кто погиб, Мы не сможем спать, хотя маки растут На полях Фландрии.
