August 10
With proud thanksgiving,
a mother for her children,
England mourns for her dead
across the sea
Laurence Binyon: For the Fallen (born this day in 1869)
母の子に対するごとく
Haha-no ko-ni taisuru-gotoku
誇らかな感謝とともに
Horakana kansya-to-tomo-ni
われら今悼み悲しむ
Warera ima itami kanashimu
外国に死せるもののふ
Totsukuni-ni shiseru mononofu
