I have sung this many times in choirs. Brings goosebumps every time, you may remember it from saving private Ryan

Very moving to hear this live in the Royal Albert Hall at the BBC's D-Day Seventy Years concert earlier this year.

I am singing in a Remembrance concert on Thursday, which includes Wilfrid Wilson Gibson's (1878-1962) "Lament", set to music by Gerald Finzi in his 'Requiem da Camera":
"We who are left, how shall we look again
Happily on the sun, or feel the rain,
Without remembering how they who went
Ungrudgingly, and spent
Their all for us, loved too, the sun and rain?
A bird among the rain-wet lilac sings
But we, how shall we turn to little things?
And listen to the birds and winds and streams
Made holy by their dreams,
Nor feel the heartbreak in the heart of things?"
