Exhortation and Kohima
 (Sung text for setting by J. Tavener)
 Matches base text
Language: English 
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.
When you go home, tell them of us and say:
For your tomorrow, we gave our today.
