The Last Call at Fenians: We raise a virtual glass to Fenians Irish Pub, a Jackson landmark calling it quits after 28 years. What drove them to the brink? Was it just the usual suspects like crime, or something more?
Below is the official statement from the Fenians Pub staff about the closure of the iconic Jackson, Mississippi Irish pub. It is with a heavy heart that we announce the closing of Fenian's Pub after nearly 28 years of serving this incredible community.

To the Dublin press, the American Civil War veterans in Dublin cut an unusual shape. These ‘Yankee' characters looked different, but they also behaved differently. Under the direction of Captain Thomas J. Kelly, these men would be centrally important to the Fenian uprising of 1867. While history remembers this as a skirmish on a hill in Tallaght, much more happened in March 1867 than that.
The end of the Civil War in the United States creates a military threat to British North America, though not the one many Canadians feared.
U21D County Final - Post-Match reaction from Conor Tobin (Fenians) on CRKC 25.11.2023
The Phoenix Park assassinations of May 1882 shook British politics. All had heard of the Fenians, but who were the Invincibles? Today, a cross in the grass on Chesterfield Avenue marks the location where these events played out - but who put it there?
Today I talked to Marian O'Shea Wernicke about her new novel Out of Ireland (She Writes Press, 2023). Most people have heard of the Irish famine in 1848 and of the resistance movement against British sovereignty that consumed much of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. In this fictional attempt to understand her great-grandmother's life, Marian O'Shea Wernicke examines the years between the famine and the Easter Rebellion of 1916. In the process, she creates a compelling tale of a young Irish girl, Mary Eileen O'Donovan, whose impoverished family forces her to marry a neighboring farmer in his forties when Eileen, as she's known, has barely passed her sixteenth birthday. The match improves her family's material situation, but it is not what Eileen wants from life. A bookish girl, she has ambitions of studying to become a teacher, but pressure from her family puts paid to those plans. She grudgingly agrees to wed John Sullivan and does her best to make him a good wife. When she becomes pregnant, the couple's newborn son unites them for a while, but John's morose nature and frequent drunkenness make him a difficult man to love, especially for an idealistic girl. When the crops fail and Eileen's younger brother falls foul of the Fenians, she and John decide their only choice is to emigrate. But leaving Ireland turns out to carry a high price as well … Marian O'Shea Wernicke, a former professor of English, is the author of A 20th-Century Man, a memoir of her father; the anthology Confessions: Fact or Fiction? (with Herta Feely); and Toward That Which Is Beautiful. Out of Ireland is her second novel. C. P. Lesley is the author of two historical fiction series set during the childhood of Ivan the Terrible and three other novels. Her latest book, Song of the Storyteller, appeared in January 2023.

This week we kick off our bonus interview episodes by welcoming University of Toronto professor David Wilson to talk about everyone's favourite Irish revolutionaries (who also happened to profoundly shape Canadian history) the Fenians. Wilson's new book Canadian Spy Story: Irish Revolutionaries and the Secret Police is a dual history of the Fenians and also very much about the rise of Canada's first secret police to infiltrate Fenian networks in the 1860s. It's a magnificent feat of academic research and Hollywood-esque story-telling.

The Fenians are back at it this week - threatening to raid New Brunswick and then (for real) attacking along the Niagara frontier. Arthur Gordon of New Brunswick steps up and makes things happen, obliterating the niceties of responsible government along the way. And the two maritime colonies of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia agree that perhaps there ought to be - wait for it! - yet another conference to talk about this whole Confederation business.

The radical Irish republicans are coming and they're going to scare British North Americans into a confederation. This week we learn all about Irish secret societies and their plans to invade Canada. We also catch up with the crumbling government of New Brunswick that, even though it was only recently elected, is determined to fall apart and hand the colony back into the hands of those who supported Confederation.

Dans ce projet, les élèves cherchent à comprendre les héritages complexes découlant des points de vue des Pères de la Confédération en créant un dialogue scénarisé entre deux personnalités de l'époque. En commençant par une discussion sur le retrait des statues de John A. Macdonald, les élèves explorent la domination de l'Ordre d'Orange dans la politique canadienne du 19e siècle et interrogent les points communs dans le traitement des migrants irlandais et des Métis. Cela aide les élèves à expliquer ce qui a incité les Fenians irlandais et les Métis à frapper violemment contre l'ordre politique dominant de l'ère de la Confédération.

Witness to Yesterday (The Champlain Society Podcast on Canadian History)
Patrice Dutil meets David A. Wilson to talk about his book Canadian Spy Story: Irish Revolutionaries and the Secret Police, published by McGill-Queens University Press. In an effort to disable the Irish revolutionaries from attacking Canada and stirring Irish sympathies in Canada, Sir John A. Macdonald established a sophisticated spy ring to infiltrate Fenian ranks. They examine the ideas that animated the Fenians, their success and their failures. They also reflect on the socio-political situation and on the actions taken by the Government of Canada's, taking particular note of individuals like Gilbert McMicken, Frederick Ermatinger, Charles Clarke and the grand spy Henri Le Caron.

The Flying Dutchman is a poem by John Boyle O'Reilly John Boyle O'Reilly was an Irish-born poet, journalist and fiction writer. As a youth in Ireland, he was a member of the Irish Republican Brotherhood, or Fenians, for which he was transported to Western Australia. After escaping to the United States, he became a prominent spokesperson for the Irish community and culture, through his editorship of the Boston newspaper The Pilot, his prolific writing, and his lecture tours. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/storysuite/support

In the modern game, Celtic Football Club can no longer be as politically outspoken as it once was. Governing bodies and sponsors dictate that, but whilst this is the case at boardroom level, many supporters of the club remain vocal in their political views and sympathies. This episode looks at the political history of Celtic Football Club. It sticks to the facts rather than opinion, as it is not for me to say what is right or wrong. Though, I do offer a distinction between politics and humanitarianism in the opening segment. I originally recorded this episode in May 2021, after an issue involving Palestinian flags at Celtic Park. However, I have decided to re-release the episode now, on the eve of Celtic's clash with Ferencvaros in Hungary due to the political history involving the clubs. Celtic were formed by people of political mind. Almost all of the founders were involved in political organisations in Glasgow such as the Irish National League. One of the club's founding fathers, Pat Welsh, was a wanted Fenian who took part in an uprising for Irish independence in 1867. Another founding father, Joseph Shaughnessy, represented 10 IRB men in a legal case surrounding the blowing up of a gasometers in Glasgow. Michael Davitt was named as Celtic's second ever Patron and may have been responsible for the name 'Celtic' being given to the club. Davitt was an MP, founder of the Land Leagues, a Socialist, an Internationalist, and a convicted Irish Republican. He was invited to lay the first sod of turf at the new Celtic Park in 1892, an event at which Irish Nationalist MP Timothy Daniel Sullivan sung his anthem God Save Ireland - a tribute to the three Fenians known as the Manchester Martyrs, who were executed following a sham trial little over two decades earlier. The club publicly protested against British involvement in the Boer War, held matches to raise funds for evicted tenants, and also sent a high profile delegation to Dublin to take part in the Irish Race Convention - designed to plan a route towards achieving Irish Home Rule - in 1896. From those political beginnings, a friendship with Belfast Celtic hardened the supporters' political views, particularly as the situation in the North of Ireland worsened after Belfast Celtic were forced to fold. Meanwhile, in the late 1960s, Bob Kelly refused to fulfill a European Cup tie against Hungarian opponents Ferencvaros. Kelly did so in protest against the Soviet invasions of Czechoslovakia, of which Hungary were a part. He famously said that "there are things for Celtic more important than money," and the club's stance caused a huge chain reaction across European sport. Sit back and enjoy some of these stories and more... whatever your view on politics at Celtic Park - one can't deny the historical facts.
The last ship to transport convicts to Australia was the Hougoumont which arrived in 1868. Onboard were 279 male convicts - 62 of whom were political prisoners from Ireland known as Fenians. This is the story of one of those men - John Boyle O'Reilly, a poet, journalist, author and activist. Join me as I retell the story of his epic escape from New Holland to New York. Trigger warning!

Cleveland supporters of Irish nationhood launched a summer picnic in 1864--a tradition that lasted for decades. The picnics featured speeches promoting the cause of Irish freedom, but also offered summer amusements at parks outside the city. Railroads offered excursion rates for days filled with swing, tugboat or dirigible rides, races, music, and sports and dancing competitions. The names of the organizations that sponsored the picnics changed over the years--from the Fenians, to the Land League, to the National League, to the Irish Nationalists. Sometimes the nationalist impulse intersected with a business networking impulse, and downtown hotels and club rooms also became the scenes of nationalist activities. But the same leaders were behind those shifting organizations for decades, only gradually giving way to a new generation of leaders. A new century was dawning, but Ireland was still not free. The pressure to support armed rebellion grew. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

John Boyle O’Reilly was a member of the Irish Republican Brotherhood (the Fenians). While in WA, John wrote a number of poems in a vellum bound journal, which he appeared to have given to Father Patrick McCabe as a thank you gift. When the book was donated to the Library in 1989, its authenticity was questioned, and Library staff engaged in extensive research in attempts to verify it, including comparing handwriting samples from other O’Reilly manuscript documents and even asking the WA Police if they recognised the shorthand! It was not deemed authentic until Gillian O’Mara translated parts of the shorthand that covered vellum exterior of the volume, using some notes found in the John Flood papers. This revealed that it was by John Boyle O’Reilly. The book has been digitised and is available online through the State Library catalogue. Dr Kate Gregory, Battye Historian joined us on Remember When to talk about this fascinating story. See omnystudio.com/policies/listener for privacy information.
The Fenians were Irish Americans seeking to put pressure on Britain to free Ireland and hence could be seen as 'freedom fighters'.

Irish-born Civil War veterans returned to Cleveland with a new-found confidence. They had just helped to win a war. Some Irish veterans began to think about advancing another just cause -- freedom for their native country. Returning veterans joined the Fenian Brotherhood -- which aimed to stir up American support for overthrowing British rule in Ireland. Plans coalesced around a proposed (and ill-advised) invasion -- of Canada! Cleveland was in the thick of Fenian activity, serving as a rendezvous point for Fenians headed toward Canada from points west and south. But unsurprisingly, the US government did not want war with Britain in Canada, and squelched the short-lived Fenian movement. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
It was the first time in 50 years a foreign invader attacked Ontario, and, to date, the last time. When the Fenians crossed into Canada from the USA, they would find an under-trained and under-prepared Canadian militia and the defeat of the Canadians would be wiped from our history for 25 years. Nonetheless, the Battle of Ridgeway was an important moment for Canada. E-mail: craig@canadaehx.com Support: www.patreon.com/canadaehx Website: www.canadaehx.com
Fenians attacked Quebec on this day back in 1870. To learn more we spoke with Alan Rowe, an instructor at Keyano College.
Remember in history class when you read about the drunken Irish mob that tried to invade Canada? It gets about half a page in most high-school history textbooks and like so much of the official historical narrative in this country, there's more to the story.In this podcast episode, host Russell Hillier talks to historian and author, Peter Vronsky, about his book Ridgeway: The History of Canada, and gets to the bloody truth about the Fenian invasions.Far from being a drunken mob, the Fenians who invaded Canada in 1866 were hardened veterans of the American Civil War and they bested Upper Canada on the field of battle. Imagine in the year 2020, a thousand American veterans from Iraq and Afghanistan, armed with the latest military technology, crossed into Canada. Think of the panic and confusion resulting from such a move. This is precisely what happened in 1866, as 1000 Fenian veterans from the Civil War crossed the Niagara frontier, with the goal of capturing Canada and holding it hostage in exchange for Britain relinquishing control of Ireland.In hindsight, it seems like a crazy proposition and yet, the Fenians did land an army and completely routed the Canadian forces sent against them in the battle of Ridgeway.In this episode, we get into the Fenian strategy, the battle tactics and the reasons why this battle has been largely forgotten by Canadian history.
He was an Irish revolutionary who went on to become one of the founders of Canada and was assassinated by the Fenians.

It’s true! Once upon a time, Irish separatists based in the United States thought invading Canada was the best way to reunify Ireland. Join the gang as they explore the rise of the Fenians (and, along the way, why Canada is more than capable of defending itself).

History is the art of Nestor, so let's immerse ourselves in the nightmare of history, at least the bits covered on p. 31 of Ulysses. Learn about Stephen's hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia. Mr. Deasy tries to teach Stephen a history, but (spoiler alert) he doesn't know much about history. Topics covered include Daniel O'Connell, the Orange lodges, the Famine and the Fenians.

In November 1867 tension and fear gripped the city of Manchester. A regiment of the British Army was drafted in to support a police force already bolstered by an extra 2,000 recruits.With the most contentious execution in a century due to take place at the New Bailey Prison, it was feared racial tensions in Manchester would erupt into violence.The three condemned men Michael O'Brien, Michael Larkin and William Allen were all Irish. It was widely believed that the British courts had treated them harshly. As the execution day approached rumours spread that an escape orchestrated by the Fenians was on the cards. The city was on a knife edge...This podcast tells the fascinating story of these three men remembered as the Manchester Martyrs.You can see pictures of the individuals involved at www.irishhistorypodcast.ie/manchester See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
Tonight we celebrate Memorial Day and the legacy of the Irishman that led the cause to create it. General John A. Logan was a County Monaghan man who fought in the Mexican-American War, the Battle of Bull Run, and in the rotundas of the Illinois AND United States Senate.

Tune in as Tim and Mike pay tribute to those who have fallen with music from The Fureys, Bruce Springsteen, The Elders, and Kevin Flynn & The Avondale Ramblers. Thank you to all that have served and continue to serve in the Armed Forces. Memorial Day also means Irish Fest at Chicago Gaelic Park and the boys preview their 30th annual festival with songs from the bands you'll see this weekend including Chicago Reel, Screaming Orphans and The Fenians.

In this third episode of 1916, we examine the cultural and linguistic influences that were so critical in shaping and moulding a sense of Irish identity before the Rising took place. We also trace the development of crucial figures like Arthur Griffith, Douglas Hyde It was Hyde who responsible for the title of this episode when he claimed that, following the establishment of the Gaelic League, the GAA and numerous dramatic institutions, Ireland no longer a poor old woman, but a beautiful young maiden, who had not only started to 'move and play, she has begun to sing'. Ireland certainly was singing by the turn of the century, and as its political parties reunified, political nationalism seemed destined for a revival at the same time. Just at this moment though, the Fenians lurked in the background, preparing the next generation of rebels for the next phase in Ireland's history.

In The Past Lane - The Podcast About History and Why It Matters
With St. Patrick's Day (March 17) being celebrated this week, In The Past Lane takes a look at some fascinating Irish American history. 1) We start with a feature piece on why Americans in the late 19th century associated Irish immigrants with terrorism. That's right, long before 9/11, the Irish inspired fear among Americans as a dangerous immigrant group that committed acts of terrorism. 2) Next, we present a feature on Hercules Mulligan, the Irish immigrant who served as a trusted spy against the British during the American revolution. You might recognize his name if you've seen "Hamilton, The Musical," or listened to the soundtrack. 3) Then we turn to The History Skinny, the segment where we talk about news stories that relate to history. This week we chat it up with In The Past Lane's Senior Historical Correspondent, Stephanie Yuhl. 4)and finally, it's on to a short piece on the dozens of American slang terms (47 to be precise) that start with the word "Irish."

Logan (he of Logan Square in Chicago) that led the cause for the creation of the national holiday that we call Memorial Day, a day that we remember those that have died in service of our country.

Acts 17:16-34 - In 1961 AW Tozer wrote, "What you think about when you think about God is the most important thing about you." I think the apostle Paul would have agreed. And ask chapter 17, Paul gives one of the most famous sermons recorded in the Scriptures. The entire goal of Paul's sermon is to give the Fenians a completely different view of God. The apostle Paul is convinced that our view of God shapes the world that we see in the life that we live.

(Ryan) Who were the Fenians and what were their goals? This is a question that historians have debated for years- this podcast will trace the life of a prominent Fenian, Lawrence O'Brien, to, perhaps, help explain the origins of this rather interesting Irish American nationalist organization during the Civil War.

After The Union The Peelers - Repeal Of Licensing Laws (the closest we could get to a Repel Of The Union) Roll on the 1800's. Things can only get better. Right? One of the intentions of British Prime Mister, William Pitt (rhymes with shit) was to bring in Catholic emancipation with the union (the right to vote and take a seat in parliament). He believed it would be easier to achieve emancipation for Catholics if they were a minority in a United Kingdom rather then a majority in the Kingdom of Ireland - though what's the point of your vote means nothing? Unfortunately the king was George lll. Remember him? The loonie German that lost the Americas - well Georgie Porgie was as king also head of the Anglican church and would not allow emancipation so Pitt quit (rhymes with shit). Within 4 years Pitt was back but the moment had passed and he was busy dealing with a short French trouble maker. George III lays down the law. No friend of freedom or democracy Daniel O'Connell and Catholic emancipation: AD 1823-29 While the penal laws were still in effect they had diminished in severity since the late 1700s - Catholics could now serve in the army, property rights improved and importantly some Catholics could vote....men with certain property rights. This was seized up by a crafty (a cute whoore in local speak) Kerry born lawyer called Daniel O'Connell - Danny Bhoy knew there was nothing in the law that could stop him running for election, the problem was if he won as a Catholic he could not take the oath of allegiance to the inheritor of the bollox of Henry the 8th as Defender of the Faith. So Danny throws his hat in the ring and faces off against the hand picked candidate of the Duke of Wellington and whips his arse. The Brits have a problem now, there is an elected member of Parliament who won't take the oath and his core supporters a generation before rebelled massively and bloodily. The Brits blink and the oath is gone. DOC in MP for county Clare. O'Connell - The original Kerry politician Healy Rae- Today's Kerry Politician Daniel O'Connell and the monster meetings: 1842-1844 With O'Connell now in the Houses of Parliament others were elected and soon O`O'Connell was heading up the movement to repel the Act of Union. O'Connell was quite the political organizer and through church gate collections a war chest of funds was build that would put an American presidential candidate to shame, he also organized in-conjunction with the Young Ireland movement monster meetings to agitate and show support for repel of the union. The first Million Man March was to be organized at Clontarf in 1843 (see part 1 for the significance of Clontarf) a good 150 years before Spike Lee. Peel the then Prime Minister wasn't going to let this happen and sent in troops with cannons. DOC being the Gandhi like statesman backed down and for his trouble was arrested, tried and jailed along with the leaders of the Young Ireland movement. He spent almost a year in the can before the House of Lords had him sprung. The Great Famine: 1845-1850 Neck - The Fields of Athenry Black 47 - Black 47 The Woods Band - The Grosse Isle Lament Economically things were crap. In the1820s famine came close and there was the first large scale Irish emigration to the new word. But the population continued to grow as it shot up from 2.5 million in 1800 to 8 million 1845. Ireland was essentially an agricultural economy and expected to be the breadbasket for the rapidly industrializing England (industry competition with England was not allowed going back to the 1400s and the Statutes of Kilkenny). Now while parts of Ireland are very rich in agricultural land other parts are poor especially the boggy midlands and the poor lands of the West of Ireland. The main reason for the increase in population was the potato. Now despite the fact the average Irish man looks like a potato this tumor is native to the Americas and introduced to Ireland by the Elizabethan planter Sir Walter Raleigh - famous for covering a puddle with his cloak for Lizzie so she wouldn't get her feet wet though fat lot of good it did him in the end as his head ended up in a basket. The old potato became the staple diet of Paddy and Biddy and not just because of the taste. It was a high yield crop that could be cultivated on poor land and small holdings - by 1845 90% of Irish farms were 10 acres or less and many thousands more had mere patches of mud to grow their all important crop. Eviction - Landlords took advantage of the famine to clear the land of tenants In 1845 the crop failed because of a blight that came in from America, the crop failed again in 1846 and 1847 (Black 47) and the great hunger became the great famine. The policy of the government in London exacerbated the famine and when public works projects were put in place it was to little too late, corn was brought in from America to be sold to the starving while Ireland was still exporting more food produce then was coming in. Lord Trevelyan, the British administrator in Ireland did not believe in government assistance and personally believed the famine was a punishment from God upon the lazy Irish peasant class and the feckless landlord class. God's curse upon you Lord Trevelyan May your great Queen Victoria rot in hell - Black 47 "The judgement of God sent the calamity to teach the Irish a lesson, that calamity must not be too much mitigated. …The real evil with which we have to contend is not the physical evil of the Famine, but the moral evil of the selfish, perverse and turbulent character of the people". Sir Charles Edward Trevelyan, Assistant Secretary to HM Treasury, official in charge of famine relief, December 1846. By 1852 Ireland's population was reduced to 6.5m with an estimated one million dead and one million left the country with the bulk of the exiles outta the clutches of Britannia and now in the United States. Irish America The Wakes - St Patrick's Battalion The Mickey Finns - The Ballad Of Duffy's Cut Kilmaine Saints - Brave Yankee Boys Black 47 - Five Points The BibleCodeSundays - DixieLand Dropkick Murphys - The Fighting 69th Circle J - Molly Maguires The famine not only changed the course of Irish history but also America where the potato and the blight originated. While there was Irish emigration to the US prior to the Great Famine this was the first wave of massive non-Anglo emigration to America. The US was open to the immigration as it need the labor to dig canals, build the railroads, work in the mills and fight in its wars - the war of 1848 was underway and the US was screaming our for cannon fodder (though things didn't always go to plan like when Jon Riley took his Irish troops over to the Mexican side cos he didn't think the war was just and disliked the poor treatment of the Irish in the American army) The Irish were exiled and angry. Poor, excluded and exploited. They were most likely to be found in the slums of the Yankee east coast doing the jobs the Yankee didn't want. There were anti-Irish riots in Philadelphia and New York and a catholic convent was burned down by an angry mob in Boston. The Irish used the political experience learned in Ireland and within a generation most big East coast American cities were under Irish political control. The American Civil War was a huge turning point for the Irish, and while many Irish were against emancipation of the slaves- how quickly they forget - and feared free slaves coming north and undercutting them for jobs, the Irish did show their loyalty to their adopted homeland and fought with valor (for both sides) Winning respect in America - the hard way A Molly Maguire executed The Fenians Seanchai - Fenians Larkin - A Nation Once Again Muirsheen Durkin & Friends - God Save Ireland One group that was to use the Civil War for its advantage as The Fenians Brotherhood. Formed in New York City in 1858 the Fenians were a secret society whose aim was to drive the Brits outta Ireland. The Fenians knew the war would be a good source of trained and armed solders. With the war over the Fenians staged a rebellion in Ireland (it failed), they invaded Canada (three times), invented the submarine and undertook a dynamite campaign in England. The Fenian were the boogie man of Victorian Britain and condemned by the Church. "when we look down into the fathomless depth of this infamy of the heads of the Fenian conspiracy, we must acknowledge that eternity is not long enough, nor hell hot enough to punish such miscreants" - Bishop Moriarty of Kerry The Fenian flag The Battle of Ridgeway
I find I have a variety of different musical styles and songwriting interests that I share in this week's show. Plus, I brainstorm writing a song on the fly. Songs: "Rattlin' Bog" by Marc Gunn from 4 Irish Whiskey Pub Songs "Skullcrusher Mountain" by Jonathan Coulton from Where Tradition Meets Tomorrow Notes: My different musical performance interests: folk songs, original songs, and nonsensical songs Irish-Song-Lyrics.com Jonathan Coulton's Thing-A-Week Help me write a song. Make a show comment with a who, what, where, why, when, and how. Or just a person, place, or thing. My other podcasts: Renaissance Festival Podcast & Irish & Celtic Music Podcast Intro music by The Tea Merchants Foggy Dewmusic traditional, words by Father P. O'Neill 'Twas down the glen one Easter mornTo a city fair rode I.When armed line of marching menIn squadrons passed me by.No pipes did hum, no battle drumDid sound its loud tattooBut the Angelus bell o'er the Liffey's swellRang out in the foggy dew. Right proudly high over Dublin townThey hung out a flag of war.'Twas better to die 'neath an Irish skyThan at Suvla or Sud el Bar.And from the plains of Royal MeathStrong men came hurrying through;While Brittania's huns with their great big gunsSailed in through the foggy dew. O' the night fell black and the rifles' crackMade "Perfidious Abion" reel'Mid the leaden rail, seven tongues of flameDid shine o'er the lines of steel.By each shining blade a prayer was siadThat to Ireland her sons be true,And when morning broke still the war flag shookOut its fold in the foggy dew 'Twas England bade our wild geese goThat small nations might be free.But their lonely graves are by Suvla's wavesOn the fringe of the gray North Sea.But had they died by Pearse's sideOr fought with Cathal Brugha,Their names we'd keep where the Fenians sleep'Neath the shroud of the foggy dew. The bravest fell, and the solemn bellRang mournfully and clearFor those who died that WatertideIn the springing of the year.And the world did gaze with deep amazeAt those fearless men, but fewWho bore the fight that freedom's lightMight shine through the foggy dew. Ah, back through the glen I rode againand my heart with grief was soreFor I parted then with valiant menwhom I never shall see more.But to and fro in my dreams I go andI'd kneel and pray for you,For slavery fled, O glorious dead, whenyou fell in the foggy dew.
