Each November
We remember
At the Royal Albert Hall
And we remember
With dignity
With respect
They stand in silence
And we remember
In silence
Petals fall
Like crimson snow flakes
And we remember
Gently falling
They settle
Upon hat and tunic
And we remember
Each petal
Once a life
Floats in silent homage
And we remember
Red poppies
Springing eternally
From the bloodied fields
And we remember
Falling petals
Falling in millions
To recall the fallen
And we remember
