THEY SHALL GROW NOT OLD

As the stars that shall be bright when we are dust,
moving in marches upon the heavenly plain;
As the stars that are starry
in the time of our darkness
to the end they remain.

They shall not grow old
as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them,
nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
we will remember them.

poem: Laurence Binyon (1869-1943)
