Why are they selling poppies, Mummy?
Selling poppies in town today
The poppies, child, are flowers of love
For the men who marched away
But why have they chosen a poppy, mummy?
Why not a beautiful rose?
Because my child, men fought and died
In the fields where the poppies grow
But why are the poppies so red, Mummy?
Why are the poppies so Red?
Red is the colour of blood, my child
The blood that our soldiers shed
The heart of the poppy is black, Mummy
Why does it have to be black?
Black, my child, is the symbol of grief
For the men who never came back
But why, Mummy are you crying so?
Your tears are giving you pain
My tears are my fears for you my child
For the world is forgetting again.
