  • "The Rising of the Moon" is an Irish ballad recounting a battle between the United Irishmen, led by Wolfe Tone, against British forces during the Irish Rebellion of 1798.
    Lyrics:
    Oh then, tell me Seán O'Farrell, tell me why you hurry so?
    "Hush a bhuachaill, hush and listen", and his cheeks were all aglow,
    "I bear orders from the captain:- get you ready quick and soon
    For the pikes must be together by the rising of the moon"
    By the rising of the moon, by the rising of the moon,
    For the pikes must be together by the rising of the moon
    "And come tell me Seán O'Farrell where the gath'rin is to be?"
    "In the old spot by the river, right well known to you and me.
    One more word for signal token:- whistle out the marchin' tune,
    With your pike upon your shoulder, by the rising of the moon."
    By the rising of the moon, by the rising of the moon
    With your pike upon your shoulder, by the rising of the moon.
    Out from many a mud wall cabin eyes were watching through the night,
    Many a manly chest was throbbing, for the blessed morning light.
    Murmurs ran along the valleys like the banshee's lonely croon
    And a thousand pikes were flashing at the rising of the moon.
    At the rising of the moon, at the rising of the moon.
    And a thousand pikes were flashing by the rising of the moon.
    There beside the singing river that black mass of men was seen,
    High above their shining weapons flew their own beloved green.
    "Death to every foe and traitor! Forward strike the marching tune."
    And hurrah my boys for freedom; 'tis the rising of the moon".
    Tis the rising of the moon, tis the rising of the moon
    And hurrah my boys for freedom; 'Tis the rising of the moon".
    Well they fought for poor old Ireland, and full bitter was their fate,
    Oh what glorious pride and sorrow, fills the name of ninety-eight!
    Yet, thank God, e'en still are beating hearts in manhood burning noon,
    Who would follow in their footsteps, at the risin' of the moon
    At the rising of the moon, At the rising of the moon
    Who would follow in their footsteps, at the risin' of the moon.

    Having wandered all over the beautiful country and seen the areas where rebels were buried in unmarked mass graves in the rising of 1798 this brings tears to my eyes and pride to my heart. Men with no military training standing up to and fighting highly trained british troops with pikes and clubs. Doomed to fail but for generations after REMEMBER THE MEN OF 98 must have inspired every rebel. Now we rule ourselves and just need unity with the north.God bless Ireland 🇮🇪

    This song of Seán O'Farrell's pike against the Brown Bess Musket is certainly stirring and well played and sung. Indeed, "full bitter was their fate."
    Decades ago I was at Vinegar Hill outside of Enniscorthy, Ireland and had related to me the tragedy that occurred there when pikes went against muskets and untrained Irishmen went against perhaps the world's best disciplined and drilled and superbly armed professional soldiers. Even to this day, the ideals of the United Irishmen of 1798 haven't been entirely realized, but Ireland has certainly come a long, long way.

    My dad was a musician, and always said the Irish had great musicality. Im English (sorry) and do enjoy English folk, but will definitely admit Irish traditional music is superior. Perhaps it is the passion and spirit behind their quest for freedom that produced great songs.

      You get those migrants and teach them Irish history so they become proud and thankful for a chance to live in Ireland. Polish immigrant here who lived in Waterford for 10 years and in the meantime learned your history, seen sacred places where your heroes died, learned mandolin, bouzouki, jigs and reels, played and sang rebel songs in pubs while working full time day job. So I'm telling you honestly you could be proud of most of migrants if you just help them to socialise and blend into irish culture.
