Thank you for posting this poem.
Beautifully spoken.
But what a shame that the reader falls into the familiar trap, saying, "They shall not grow old . . . " when Binyon's original, more moving words, are, "They shall grow not old . . . "
If you're gonna do it, do it right!

@renard801 I'm sorry about that. There a more common and worse mistake in the next line though which should read "nor the years contemn", meaning disdain, not "condemn".
