歌词：

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 nor battle drum did sound its dread tattoo

But the Angelus Bell o'er the Liffey's swell rang out through the foggy dew

Right proudly high over Dublin Town they hung out the 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 long range guns sailed in through the foggy dew

Oh the night fell black and the rifles' crack made perfidious Albion reel

In 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

But when morning broke still the war flag shook out its folds 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

And the world did gaze in deep amaze at those fearless men but few

Who bore the fight that freedom's light might shine through the foggy dew

As back through the glen I rode again and my heart with grief was sore

For I parted then with valiant men whom I never see no 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
