The Foggy Dew - Annwn[00:00:00]
Composed by:Traditional Song[00:00:00]
I was down the glen one Easter morn[00:00:20]
To a city fair rode I[00:00:26]
There armed lines of marching men[00:00:32]
In squadrons passed me by[00:00:38]
No pipe did hum no battle drum did[00:00:45]
Sound it's loud tattoo[00:00:51]
But the Angelus Bells o'er the[00:00:56]
Liffey swells rang out in the foggy dew[00:01:00]
Right proudly high in Dublin town[00:01:17]
They hung out a flag of war[00:01:23]
'Twas better to die 'neath that Irish sky[00:01:29]
Than at Sulva or Sud el Bar[00:01:35]
And from the plains of Royal Meath[00:01:41]
Strong men came hurrying through[00:01:47]
While Brittania's huns with their[00:01:53]
Long range guns[00:01:57]
Sailed in through the foggy dew[00:01:59]
'Twas England bade our wild geese go[00:02:14]
That small nations might be free[00:02:20]
Their lonely graves are by Suvla's waves[00:02:26]
Or the fringe of the great North Sea[00:02:32]
Oh but had they died by Pearse's[00:02:38]
Side or fought with Cathal Brugha[00:02:42]
Their names we'd keep where[00:02:50]
The Fenians sleep 'neath the shroud[00:02:53]
Of the foggy dew[00:02:57]
Their bravest fell and the requiem bell[00:04:17]
Rang mournfully and clear[00:04:22]
For those who died that Eastertide in the[00:04:28]
Springing of the year[00:04:35]
And the world did gaze in deep amaze[00:04:40]
At those fearless men but few[00:04:46]
Who bore the fight that freedom's light[00:04:52]
Might shine through the foggy dew[00:04:58]
