The Foggy Dew Lyrics

[00:15.77] As down the glen one Easter morn' to a city fair rode I
[00:23.84] There, armed lines of marching men in squadrons passed me by
[00:31.87] No pipes did hum, no battle drum did sound its loud tattoo
[00:39.87] But the Angelus Bell o'er the Liffey's swell rang out in the foggy dew
[00:48.62]
[00:55.78] Right proudly high over Dublin Town they hung out the flag of war
[01:03.93] 'Twas better to die 'neath an Irish sky than at Suvla or Sud-El-Bar
[01:11.83] And from the plains of Royal Meath, strong men came hurrying through
[01:19.68] While Britannia's Huns with their greatbig guns
[01:24.16] Sailed in through the foggy dew
[01:28.20]
[01:35.82] Oh, the night fell black and the rifles' crack made perfidious Albion reel
[01:44.07] In the leaden rain
[01:46.12] Seven tongues of flame did shine o'er the lines of steel
[01:51.86] By each shining blade a prayer was said that to Ireland her sons be true
[01:59.70] When the morning broke
[02:01.67] Still the war flag shook out its folds in the foggy dew
[02:08.88]
[02:15.83] 'Twas England bade our wild geese go, that small nations might be free
[02:23.76] But their lonely graves are by Suvla's waves
[02:27.86] Or the fringe of the great North Sea
[02:31.71] Oh, had they died by Pearse's side or fought with Cathal Brugha
[02:39.89] Their names we will keep where the Fenians sleep
[02:43.93] 'Neath the shroud of the foggy dew
[02:48.71]
[02:56.02] Oh, the bravest fell, and the Requiem bell rang mournfully and clear
[03:03.77] For those who died that Eastertide in the spring time of the year
[03:11.72] While the world did gaze with deep amaze
[03:15.83] At those fearless men, but few
[03:19.94] Who bore the fight that freedom's light
[03:24.23] Might shine through the foggy dew
[03:28.38]
[03:35.99] Back through the glen, I rode again, my heart with grief was sore
[03:44.09] For I parted with those gallant men whom I never shall see more
[03:51.99] But to and fro in my dreams I go, and I kneel and pray for you
[03:59.96] For slavery fled, O glorious dead, when you fell in the foggy dew
[04:13.25]
