The Easter Rebellion

Happy 94th anniversary of the Easter Rebellion , comrades.

Wolfe Tones: The Foggy Dew
Dublin, 1916
Frances Black: The Bold Fenian Men

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
