NCIS, Third Season: Hiatus: Poem: In Flanders Field
He stood and watched the soldiers walk the Arlington’s Unknown Grave
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
His partner almost joined those beyond, but had been saved
That mark our place; and in the skyThe larks, still bravely singing, fly
A bomb aboard ship by hatred’s heart
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Blew where he was apart
Loved and were loved, and now we lie In Flanders fields.
No one listened, so, others died,
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
With their death’s his heart cried.
The torch; be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die
His partner gone, he fights alone,
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields. -Colonel John McCrae
His teammates hearts are made of stone.
