The Soldiers of Cumann na mBan

Cumann na mBan was formed in 1914 as an Irish republican woman’s organisation to complement the Irish Volunteers. Approximately two hundred members of Cumann na mBan took part in the Easter Rising of 1916, the most famous example being Constance Markievicz, who was sentenced to death for her role in the Rising but was granted a reprieve on account of her being a woman. This song was written around the time of the Easter Rising to commemorate the efforts made by this valiant organisation.

Thank God I was privileged to see the actual scene of those glorious days for Ireland. In 1977 I spent two and a half months in Dublin and every trip to the Main Post Office Bldg. to pick up my mail from the USA was like a real pilgrimage for me. I prayed to God that if just a scintilla of the bravery and courage of those few who bore the fight might somehow reach me and teach me then my life might be successful in some way that could honor "those few who bore the fight that freedom's light might shine through the foggy dew."
