I disagree.
In the poem (below), I've made bold the part of the poem in which the answer lies. Please re-think.
In Flanders Fields
by John McCrae, May 1915
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.
I don't know if this one is right or not. I've been stuck on this question for 15 mins and my grade counts on this.

Thanks that helped :)
You're welcome.
WWI poetry is interesting to read through ... the work of many poets. This poem is an excellent contrast to Wilfred Owen's "Dulce et Decorum Est" and others, as well as Siegfried Sassoon's (and those of many other poets). Click on Collections (at the left) below:
