Air: Caiteach Roin, or, "The winnowing sheet," preserved in Bunting's second Collection, 1809; another melody with the-
same name is in Hoffmann's Collection, 1877. Moore's song was published in the seventh number of the Melodies, 1818. As there-
must be many who have never had an opportunity of seeing Irish women winnowing corn, I will briefly describe the process.
The grain, having been thrashed with the flail, is, on a breezy day, heaped into sieves and then gently shaken into a large sheet
spread upon the,sward ; the wind carries the chaff away and the corn is caught in the winnowing sheet.
