Leonard Cohen recites “In Flanders Fields” by John McCrae | Legion Magazine

(There is a local connection to John McCrae — He was the great-grandson of Rev John Eckford who was minister of Monikie Parish from 1828-51.)

Rest in Peace Leonard Cohen. In the autumn of 2015, Legion Magazine and Leonard Cohen released a video to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the poem “In Flanders Fields” by Lieutenant-Colonel John McCrae.
In a poignant tribute to McCrae, Canadian songwriter, painter and poet Leonard Cohen has recited that stirring poem for this exclusive video. His voice is accompanied by stirring imagery from the First World War.

Only Remembered - John Tams - War Horse

Fading away like the stars in the morning,
Losing their light in the glorious sun—
Thus shall we pass from this earth and its toiling,
Only remembered for what we have done.

Only remembered, only remembered,
Only remembered for what we have done;
Thus shall we pass from this earth and its toiling,
Only remembered for what we have done.

Horses and men, ploughshares and traces,
The line on the land and the paths of the sun.
Season by season we mark nature's graces.
Only remembered for what we have done.

Only remembered, only remembered,
Only remembered for what we have done;
Season by season we mark nature's graces.
Only remembered for what we have done.

Only the truth that in life we have spoken,
Only the seed that in life we have sown:
These shall pass onwards when we are forgotten,
Only remembered for what we have done.

Who’ll sing the anthems and who’ll tell the story?
Will the line hold, will it scatter and run?
Shall we at last be united in glory,
Only remembered for what we have done?

Only remembered, only remembered,
Only remembered for what we have done;
Shall we at last be united in glory,
Only remembered for what we have done?
