Moore's song, which was suggested by the well-known Irish story of "Deirdri," was written for the fourth number of the
Melodies published Nov. 1811. He obtained the air from Holden's Irish Airs, vol. ii., 1806, where it is printed as " Crookauu
a Venee " {GrUackan 7ia Fcinne, or " Mount of the Fenians "). In Panorcna's National Airs it is called "Bryan Borue."
