The Foggy Dew - Derek Warfield/the Young Wolfe Tones

Composed by:Derek Warfield/Traditional Music

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 sounds it's loud tattoo

But the Angelus Bell o'er the Liffey swell

Rang out in the foggy dew

Right proudly high in Dublin town

They flung 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 Britannia's huns with their great big guns

Sailed in through the foggy dew

Oh the night fell black and the rifles crack

Made Perfidious Albion reel

'Neath the 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 it's folds in the foggy dew

'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 great North Sea

Oh had they died by Pearse's side

Or fought with Cathal Brugha

Their names we will keep where the Fenians sleep

'Neath the shroud of the foggy dew

Oh the bravest fell and the Requiem

Bell rang mournfully and clear

For those who died that Eastertide

In the spring time 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 gallant men

Whom I never shall see 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
