ANZAC Day Poem Worksheet
A Dawn of Remembrance
Read the poem, then answer the questions that follow.
Before the first light spills across the bay,
A bugle sounds softly to open the day.
We gather in silence; the morning is still,
And remember those who answered the call with their will.
From towns and from farms, they travelled afar,
Across restless seas beneath unfamiliar stars.
Through hardship they stood with a friend at their side,
Their courage and kindness remembered with pride.
We pause for the stories, the hopes and the years,
For laughter once shared, and for families’ tears.
A sprig of rosemary, a poppy held near,
Are signs that their service is valued and dear.
At dawn we remember; at dusk, we reflect.
We learn from the past and show each other respect.
Their names live in stories we carry today.
We will not forget them, wherever we stay.
