About

. . . '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 Cathal Bruga

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
