The air as Domnal On, or, "Little Donnell," is one of those traditional airs obtained by Dr. Petrie, and published after his
death by F. Hoffmann in Ancient Music of Ireland from the Petrie Collection, Dublin. Pigot & Co., 1876 ; a somewhat different
version of it was printed in the Petrie Collection, 1855, as "Donnel O'Greadh" (seep. 11). Mrs. Clement Shorter (Miss Donj
Sigerson) has kindly allowed me to print her song ; it is from her volume of poems entitled Verses, London, 1893. I am indebted
to Messrs. Pigot & Co., for permission to reprint the air.
