| [00:16.16] |
As down the glen one Easter morn |
| [00:21.55] |
|
| [00:22.45] |
To a city fair rode I |
| [00:27.74] |
|
| [00:28.35] |
There Armed lines of marching men |
| [00:33.98] |
|
| [00:34.80] |
In squadrons passed me by |
| [00:38.49] |
|
| [00:40.52] |
No fife did hum nor battle drum |
| [00:46.01] |
|
| [00:46.66] |
Did sound it's dread tattoo |
| [00:49.84] |
|
| [00:52.39] |
But the Angelus bell o'er the Liffey swell |
| [00:57.80] |
|
| [00:58.55] |
Rang out through the foggy dew |
| [01:02.41] |
|
| [01:04.29] |
Right proudly high over Dublin Town |
| [01:10.46] |
They hung out the flag of war |
| [01:14.22] |
|
| [01:16.19] |
'Twas better to die 'neath an Irish sky |
| [01:21.48] |
|
| [01:22.15] |
Than at Sulva or Sud El Bar |
| [01:26.28] |
|
| [01:28.08] |
And from the plains of Royal Meath |
| [01:33.31] |
|
| [01:33.91] |
Strong men came hurrying through |
| [01:37.94] |
|
| [01:39.57] |
While Britannia's Huns, with their long range guns |
| [01:45.51] |
Sailed in through the foggy dew |
| [01:49.33] |
|
| [01:51.15] |
'Twas Britannia bade our Wild Geese go |
| [01:57.06] |
That small nations might be free |
| [02:00.71] |
|
| [02:02.70] |
But their lonely graves are by Sulva's waves |
| [02:08.72] |
Or the shore of the Great North Sea |
| [02:12.37] |
|
| [02:14.34] |
Oh, had they died by Pearse's side |
| [02:19.30] |
|
| [02:19.93] |
Or fought with Cathal Brugha |
| [02:23.61] |
|
| [02:25.37] |
Their names we will keep where the fenians sleep |
| [02:30.92] |
'Neath the shroud of the foggy dew |
| [02:34.52] |
|
| [02:36.34] |
But the bravest fell, and the requiem bell |
| [02:41.85] |
Rang mournfully and clear |
| [02:45.49] |
|
| [02:47.24] |
For those who died that Easter tide |
| [02:52.71] |
In the springing of the year |
| [02:56.07] |
|
| [02:58.02] |
And the world did gaze, in deep amaze |
| [03:02.61] |
|
| [03:03.27] |
At those fearless men, but few |
| [03:06.43] |
|
| [03:08.43] |
Who bore the fight that freedom's light |
| [03:13.70] |
Might shine through the foggy dew |
