'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
They
hung out a flag of war.
'Twas better to die 'neath an Irish sky
Than at Suvla or Sud el
Bar.
And from the plains of Royal Meath
Strong men came hurrying through;
While
Brittania's sons with their long-range guns
Sailed in from the foggy dew.
'Twas England
bade our wild geese go
That small nations might be free.
Their lonely graves are by
Suvla's waves
On the fringe of the grey North Sea.
But had they died by Pearse's
side
Or fought with Valera true,
Their graves we'd keep where the Fenians sleep
'Neath the hills of the foggy dew.
The bravest fell, and the solemn bell
Rang
mournfully and clear
For those who died that Eastertide
In the springing of the
year.
And the world did gaze in deep amaze
At those fearless men and true
Who
bore the fight that freedom's light
Might shine through the foggy dew.
Note: from
the Easter Uprising of 1916
