Lyrics
P. O'Neill
Twas down the glen one Easter
morn To a city fair rode I. When Ireland's line of marching men In squadrons passed me by. No pipe did hum, no battle drum Did sound its dread tattoo But the Angelus bell o'er the Liffey's swell Rang out in the foggy dew. Right proudly high over Dublin town Oh, the night fell black and the rifles crack |
'Twas England bade our Wild
Geese go That small nations might be free But their lonely graves are by Suvla's waves or the fringe of the grey North Sea Oh had they died by Pearse's side, or had fought with Cathal Brugha Their graves we'd keep where the Fenians sleep, 'neath the shroud of the Foggy Dew. But the bravest fell, and the requiem bell Ah, back through the glen I rode again,
|
British troops shelling the Dublin Post Office, 1916
