作词 : Milligan/Fox 作曲 : Milligan/Fox As down the glen one Easter morn to a city fair rode I There Ireland’s lines of marching men In squadrons passed me by No pipe did hum, no battle drum, did sound its loud tattoo But the Angelus Bell o’er the Liffey’s swell rang out in the foggy dew Right proudly high over Dublin town they flung out the flag of war T’was 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 great big guns sailed in through the foggy dew Oh the night fell black, and the rifles’ crack made perfidious Albion reel In the leaden rain, seven tongues of flame did shine o’er the lines of steel By each shining blade a prayer was said, that to Ireland her sons be true But when morning broke, still the war flag shook out its folds in the foggy dew Oh the bravest fell and the Requiem bell rang mournfully and clear For those who died that Eastertide in the spring time of the year While the world did gaze, with deep amaze, at those fearless men, but few Who bore the fight that the freedom’s light might shine through the foggy dew Back through the glen I rode again and my heart with grief was sore For I parted with those gallant men who I’ll never see no more But to and fro in my dreams I go and I’ll kneel and pray for you For slavery fled. O’ glorious dead, when you fell in the foggy dew编辑于2024/01/28更新
