Air : "Fair maidens' beauty will soon fade away." Regarding this song, Dr. Joyce remarks, "I learned both the air and
the words of the song from my father. It was well known in my early days among the people of the south ; and there are
more verses in the song ; but thoae I give are all that I can remember." (Ane. Irish Music, 1873, p. 68.)
