Huub de Lange - War Memorial - текст песни (слова)

High on the windy cliff 
 Between the sea and the sky
 The memorial cross is set.
 'They died that we might live,'
 I wince at the solemn claim
 The living too soon forget.
 O pitiful lettered names
 That did all this resign,
 Light, and the white gull's flight 
 Between the sky and the sea!
 All this that now is mine,
 Sunshine warm on my skin,
 And the blood warm in my veins.
 Who am I that I should win
 From your forfeiture in strife
 This ecstasy, this life!
