'Remembering'

They shall grow not 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.

For Gold the merchant ploughs the main

The farmer ploughs the manor;

But glory is the sodger's prize,

The sodger's wealth is honour;

The brave poor sodger ne'er despise

Nor count him as a stranger;

Remember he's his country's stay

In day and hour of danger - Robert Burns
