It's from a poem in 1897. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recessional_(poem) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recessional_(poem)

  Oh, okay.

  I clicked the link and remain confused. The poem does have in common the term "lest we forget", but apparently nothing else. It's also used in a grammatically correct way in the poem, but not in your post, since it's not following anything.
