  • "The Foggy Dew" is an Irish Rebel song about the failed Easter Rising of 1916 when Irish republicans tried to overthrow British rule in Ireland and establish a sovereign Irish Republic. Although the uprising failed, it proved to be a major turning point in the history of the Irish nationalist movement with the majority of the Irish people now distancing themselves from the parliamentary Redmondites.
    Footage used from:
    - 'Michael Collins'
    - 'The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles'
    - 'Rebel Heart'
    - 'Gallipoli'
    - "The O'Rahilly Charge" re-enactment from 2015
    - British Pathé

      They never saw it, not because they are dead but because the Republic they fought for in 1916 was not the same as the Treaty agreed on 7th Jan 1922 - let me remind you..."We declare the right of the people of Ireland to the ownership of Ireland and to the unfettered control of Irish destinies, to be sovereign and indefeasible"..."The Republic guarantees religious and civil liberty, equal rights and equal opportunities to all its citizens, and declares its resolve to pursue the happiness and prosperity of the whole nation and of all its parts, cherishing all of the children of the nation equally, and oblivious of the differences carefully fostered by an alien Government". That is the true Irish Republic of 1916 and sadly even this song goes against everything principle the 1916 Proclamation stood for as the song excludes the brave women of the Rising why? Because it was written by a member of the church who condemmed gay people to hell at the time as many of the great women of the Rising were lesbians of course. It's shameful that these wonderful and brave women have been excluded. The Proclamation starts "Irish men and Irish Women" and NOT JUST IRISH MEN.

    I had to learn about William Butler Yeat's poem "Easter 1916" in university, and some of the names in his poem, I see here in this video! Ever since I studied about the Irish Revolution through the poem, I've had a deep sense of appreciation for the bravery of the Irish. Their rebel songs increase this appreciation and W.B Yeats is my favourite poet of all time. Love from India to the Irish; we were both colonised by the same power and we are free!

    Lyrics:
    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, no battle drum
    did sound it's loud tattoo.
    But the Angelus bell
    o'er the Liffey 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 Brittania's Huns
    With their big great guns
    sailed into the foggy dew.
    Oh the night went black, and the rifles' crack
    made perfidious Albion reel
    'Mid the leaden rain, seven tongues of flame
    did shine o'er the line of steel
    By each shining blade, a prayer was said
    that to Ireland her sons be true
    When the morning broke
    still the war flag shook
    out it's fold in the foggy dew.
    T' was England's bade our wild geese go
    that "small nations might be free"
    But their lonely graves are by Suvla's waves
    or the fringe of the great North Sea
    Oh had they died by Pearse's side
    or fought with Cathal Brugha
    Their names we would keep
    where the Fenians sleep
    'neath the shroud of 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
    my heart with grief was sore
    For I parted with those gallant men
    Whom I'll never see no more
    But to and fro in my dreams I go
    And I kneel and I pray for you
    For slavery fled!
    O glorious dead!
    When you fell in the foggy dew!

    I'm American but I have strong Irish & Catholic roots. (Catholic myself).
    May Ireland one day be completely free.
    RIP to all who fell for the battle of freedom and fury to fight multiplied for those still alive in the name of God!

      You're drunk, Jim-Bob. Spend five minutes among actual Irish, and you'll be crying to go back to Palo Alto or Charlotte so fast...
