🗒 The Foggy Dew 🗒
As down the glen one Easter morn
To a city fair rode I
There armed lines of marching men
In squadrons passed me by

No pipe did hum
No battle drum did sound its loud tattoo
But the Angelus Bells o'er the Liffey swells
Rang out in the foggy dew

Right proudly high over Dublin town
They flung out a flag of war
'Twas better to die 'neath that Irish sky
Than at Sulva or Sud-El-Bar

And from the plains of Royal Meath
Strong men came hurrying through
Sailed in through
the foggy dew

Oh, the night fell black and the riflеs' crack
Made "Perfidious Albion" reel
'Neath thе leaden rain, seven tongues of flame
Did shine o'er the lines of steel
By each shining blade a prayer was said
That to Ireland her sons be true
And when morning broke still the war flag shook
Out its folds in the foggy dew

Oh, the bravest fell and the requiem bell
Rang mournfully and clear
For those who died that Eastertide in the
Springtime of the year

While the world did gaze with deep amaze
At those fearless men but few
Who bore the fight that freedom's light
Might shine through the foggy dew

Back through the glen, I rode again
My heart with grief was sore
For I parted with those valiant men
Whom I never shall see n'more
But to and fro in my dreams I go
And I kneel and pray for you
For slavery fled, O glorious dead
When you fell in the foggy dew
