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 pipes did hum, nor battle drum, did sound its dread tattoo But the Angelus bell o’er the Liffey swell, rang out in 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 But the bravest fell and the requiem bell rang mournfully and clear For those who died that eastertide in the springing 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 Fantastic song, only 3 verses here, (usually 6 i think) I hope i've got most of the words correct. Whatever, I could listen to Luke singing all day.
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 pipes did hum, nor battle drum, did sound its dread tattoo
But the Angelus bell o’er the Liffey swell, rang out in 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
But the bravest fell and the requiem bell rang mournfully and clear
For those who died that eastertide in the springing 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
Fantastic song, only 3 verses here, (usually 6 i think) I hope i've got most of the words correct. Whatever, I could listen to Luke singing all day.
Seems like everyone has their day of a Foggy Dew.
Rest easy, dear ones passed before us. Blessed be. 🕊🌹🕊 And , of course, God Bless Ireland. 🕊🌹🕊
Most wonderful

I admire this version of The Foggy Dew from distant Yakutsk.
The little that sustains my oppressed soul.
P.S. Sorry for the broken language😅

But Britannia is horns with the long-range guns sealed in through the foggy dew but Britannia Huns
Britannia's Huns with their long range guns.
