Giok - "As down the glen one Easter morn" sounds to me like the 1916, Easter Rising, edition of "The Foggy Dew". If so (?) - then perhaps not so much generically anti-war, as anti-the-*wrong*-war(s). It was England bade our Wild Geese go That small nations might be free Now their lonely graves are by Suvla's wave Or the fringe of the great north sea. But had they died by Pearse's side Or fought with Valera true Their graves we'd keep where the Fenians sleep 'Neath the hills of the foggy dew. (Or - have I got the wrong song/version?) On a different note -- they are characteristic black-humor Tom Lehrer satire, but *I* think they still fit the category; so I nominate "We Will All Go Together When We Go" and "So Long Mom". (Hope I got the titles right.)
