[00:-23.13] As down the glen one Easter morn
[00:-13.75] To a city fair rode I.
[00:-5.13] There, armed lines of marching men,
[00:03.63] In squadrons passed me by.
[00:10.97] No pipe did hum, no battle drum
[00:19.95] Did sound its loud tattoo
[00:30.32] But the Angelus' bells o'er the Liffey swells
[00:42.09] Rang out in the foggy dew.
[00:55.30] Right proudly high in Dublin town
[01:00.56] Hung they out a flag of war.
[01:05.83] 'Twas better to die 'neath an Irish sky
[01:11.09] Than at Suvla or Sud el Bar.
[01:16.83] And from the plains of Royal Meath
[01:22.01] Strong men came hurrying through;
[01:27.47] While Brittania's Huns with their long-range guns
[01:32.92] Sailed in through the foggy dew.
[01:49.44] The bravest fell, and the requiem bell
[01:54.48] Rang mournfully and clear
[01:59.84] For those who died that Easter-tide
[02:05.13] In the springing of the year.
[02:10.23] While the world did gaze with deep amaze
[02:15.66] At those fearless men but few
[02:20.82] Who bore the fight that freedom's light
[02:26.25] Might shine through the foggy dew.
[02:31.88]
[03:12.68] And back through the glen I rode again
[03:26.95] And my heart with grief was sore
[03:36.60] For I parted then with valiant men
[03:46.27] Whom I never shall see more
[03:54.68] But to and fro
[03:59.19] In my dreams I go
[04:03.50] And I kneel and pray for you
[04:13.88] For slavery fled
[04:19.86] Oh, glorious dead
[04:28.69] When you fell in the foggy dew
