The Foggy Dew Lyrics
Artist(Band):Sinead O'Connor
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 pipe did hum, no battle drum
Did sound its loud tattoo
But the Angelus' bells o'er the Liffey swells
Rang out in the foggy dew.
Right proudly high in Dublin town
Hung they out a 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 Brittania's Huns with their long-range guns
Sailed in through the foggy dew.
The bravest fell, and the requiem bell
Rang mournfully and clear
For those who died that Easter-tide
In the springing of the year.
While the world did gaze with deep amaze
At those fearless men but few
Who bore the fight that freedom's light
Might shine through the foggy dew.
And back through the glen I rode again
And my heart with grief was sore
For I parted then with valiant men
Whom I never shall see more
But to and fro
In my dreams I go
And I kneel and pray for you
For slavery fled
Oh, glorious dead
When you fell in the foggy dew

Review about The Foggy Dew
Beautiful | Reviewer: Nem | 2/17/2008This song's why I'm in love with miss O'connor. I can really feel the dew in her haunting voice. 'Tis a shame the battle's been lost. Perhaps they'll find freedom one day again... TO THE EMERALD ISLE!
Loved the song | Reviewer: Anonymous | 4/28/2007
Thought the song was great, but the best one I've ever heard was done by the Dublin Ramblers.
The best | Reviewer: Bill | 4/8/2007
