THE FOGGY DEW MEANING —Sung by Patrick Clancy on Tradition’s
“The Rising of the Moon” album, who offers here this historical
background: “This song of the Easter rising of 1916 was an
appeal for Irishmen to die fighting for their own country rather
than die in some foreign war in a British uniform. Suvla was a
battleground in the Dardanelles, and Sud-el-bar probably refers
to some battle in the Middle East. “Pearse” and “Valera,”
mentioned in the last stanza, refer to Patrick Pearse, leader of
the Easter rising, and Eamonn De Valera, who later became
Prime Minister of Ireland. The words were written by the Rev.
P. O’Neill and are sung to the tune of a traditional Irish love
song of the same name.”

As[Am] down the glen one [G]Easter [Em]morn to a[Am] city [Dm]fair rode [Am]I

No[C] fife did hum nor[G] battle[Em] drum did[Am] sound it's [Dm]dread ta[Am]too
But the[Am] Angelus bell o'er the [G]Liffey[Em] swell rang[Am] out through the[Dm] foggy [Am]dew
Right proudly high over Dublin Town they hung out the flag of war
'Twas better to die 'neath an Irish sky than at Sulva 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
'Twas Britannia bade our Wild Geese go that small nations might be free
But their lonely graves are by Sulva's waves or the shore of the Great North Sea
Oh, had they died by Pearse's side or fought with Cathal Brugha
Their names we will keep where the fenians sleep 'neath the shroud of 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
Ah, 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'd kneel and pray for you,
For slavery fled, O glorious dead, When you fell in the foggy dew
As[Am] down the glen one [G]Easter [Em]morn to a[Am] city [Dm]fair rode [Am]I

On Easter Sunday morning in 1916 a small group of Irish volunteers took possession of the G.P.O in Dublin and so began the Easter rising.
It was a force of about 150 men and women who took on the might of The British Empere. Over 20,000 British troops were in or around Dublin at the time.
A huge crowd gathered at Sackville St.
, now O'Connell Street and listened to Padraic Pearse read the proclamation of The Irish Republic, ''Irishmen and Irish women in the name of God and the dead generations from which she receives her old tradition of nationhood,,,,,,,,
Seven men signed the document , they were Thomas Clarke, Sean McDiarmada Thomas McDonagh Ph Pearse Eamonn Ceannt James Connolly and Joseph Plunket.
The chrowd scattered when the 5th lancers rode in among them to attack the G.P.O. Shots fired and the lancers dispersed, 10 of them fell.
The crowd assembled again to watch the raising of the flag, the Irish Tri Colour of The Irish Republic over the G.P.O. James Connolly and a few of the officers came out to look at the flag as it waved up there against the sky.

Paddy Reilly Irish Singer of The Foggy Dew
The Foggy Dew Poem
The foggy dew in the morning,
A veil of mystery and charm,
Drifting over fields and hills,
Like a soft and gentle balm.
The world is still and quiet,
As the dew clings to each blade,
A hazy, dreamlike landscape,
Where secrets can be made.
The sun slowly rises,
Casting a golden hue,
Through the misty shroud,
Creating a magical view.
Birds chirp in the distance,
Their songs echoing through the mist,
Nature awakens slowly,
In this ethereal twist.
The dew drops glisten,
Like diamonds in the light,
A tranquil and serene beauty,
That's truly a wondrous sight.
The air is crisp and cool,
A refreshing start to the day,
As the fog slowly lifts,
Revealing what was once hidden away.
And in this tranquil moment,
As the world begins to stir,
I am lost in the beauty,
Of the foggy dew in the morning.
For it reminds me,
Of life's mysterious ways,
How even in the darkest moments,
There can be beauty in the haze.
So I'll cherish this foggy dew,
And the magic it brings,
For in its gentle embrace,
My heart and soul sings.
