It is called the "Ode of Remembrance" and is part of a much larger verse by Laurence Binyon called "For the Fallen" written in 1914.
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.
Lest we forget.
The "Ode of Remembrance" is read at ANZAC Day services, on Remembrance Day (11th of November), and is usually read aloud every night at RSL's around the country.

Why is ANZAC Day in New Zealand a public holiday?
ANZAC day in New Zealand is commemorated, rather than celebrated, by a (ANZAC) parade which starts at dawn on ANZAC day. Services begin before dawn, as members of the defence services march to their local memorial (almost every town, large and small, in New Zealand and Australia, have a war memorial, or an "ANZAC Square") where members of the public and community leaders join them for a Dawn Service. A catafalque guard of honour around the war memorial is provided by Uniformed service personnel. The service is marked by the National Anthem, hymns, a piper, laying of ANZAC wreaths and the ANZAC Dedication which incorporates the final verse of Laurence Binyon's "For the Fallen": 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 morningWe will remember them. Finally, a single bugler sounds the Last Post, followed by a minute's silence, and the sounding of Reveille.
Why do they play the last post at the ANZAC day dawn service?
Playing the bugle call of The Last Post is a military tradition. It is sounded at 10 pm each night to signal the end of the day's activities. The reason why it is played at military funerals and commemorative services like Anzac Day (and Remembrance Day) is that it is a final farewell and as a symbol that those who have died have completed their call of duty, and now they can rest in peace.
