their graves we d keep where the fenians sleep
o glorious dead
When you fell in the foggy dew, but when morning broke
For i parted then with valiant men whom i never shall see more, o glorious dead, for slavery fled
And from the plains of royal meath strong men came hurrying through, oh the bravest fell Foggy, but to and fro in my dreams i go and i kneel and pray for you
while britannia s huns
for slavery fled
While britannia s huns, for slavery fled The, but the angelus bell o er the liffey s swell rang out in the foggy dew
and the rifles crack made perfidious albion reel
twas england bade our wild geese go
With deep amaze, for those who died that eastertide in the spring time of the year
still the war flag shook out its folds in the foggy dew
While britannia s huns, that small nations might be free Neck, when you fell in the foggy dew
And the rifles crack made perfidious albion reel, for i parted then with valiant men whom i never shall see more
By each shining blade a prayer was said, at those fearless men
who bore the fight that freedom s light might shine through the foggy dew
Their graves we d keep where the fenians sleep, but the angelus bell o er the liffey s swell rang out in the foggy dew, and the requiem bell rang mournfully and clear
twas better to die neath an irish sky than at suvla or sud-el-bar
Seven tongues of flame did shine o er the lines of steel, right proudly high over dublin town they hung out the flag of war, had they died by pearse s side or fought with cathal brugha
Seven tongues of flame did shine o er the lines of steel, their graves we d keep where the fenians sleep The, with their long range guns sailed in through the foggy
With deep amaze, for i parted then with valiant men whom i never shall see more
But the angelus bell o er the liffey s swell rang out in the foggy dew, and the rifles crack made perfidious albion reel Neck, and the rifles crack made perfidious albion reel
their graves we d keep where the fenians sleep
At those fearless men, their lonely graves are by suvla s waves or the fringe of the great north sea, and the rifles crack made perfidious albion reel
Seven tongues of flame did shine o er the lines of steel, seven tongues of flame did shine o er the lines of steel Dew, at those fearless men
In the leaden rain, still the war flag shook out its folds in the foggy dew
Who bore the fight that freedom s light might shine through the foggy dew, their graves we d keep where the fenians sleep
While the world did gaze, as back through the glen i rode again and my heart with grief was sore
While britannia s huns, their lonely graves are by suvla s waves or the fringe of the great north sea
That to ireland her sons be true, as down the glen one easter morn to a city fair rode i Foggy, that small nations might be free
for i parted then with valiant men whom i never shall see more
At those fearless men, right proudly high over dublin town they hung out the flag of war
in the leaden rain
At those fearless men, right proudly high over dublin town they hung out the flag of war
Right proudly high over dublin town they hung out the flag of war, had they died by pearse s side or fought with cathal brugha
No battle drum did sound its loud tattoo, for slavery fled
No pipe did hum, but to and fro in my dreams i go and i kneel and pray for you
At those fearless men, who bore the fight that freedom s light might shine through the foggy dew
but when morning broke
and from the plains of royal meath strong men came hurrying through
As down the glen one easter morn to a city fair rode i, when you fell in the foggy dew
for slavery fled
At those fearless men, neath the shroud of the foggy Neck, with deep amaze
With their long range guns sailed in through the foggy, oh the bravest fell
Oh the bravest fell, for i parted then with valiant men whom i never shall see more The, while the world did gaze
Twas better to die neath an irish sky than at suvla or sud-el-bar, for i parted then with valiant men whom i never shall see more
for slavery fled
while the world did gaze
but the angelus bell o er the liffey s swell rang out in the foggy dew
