Felipa	Origins: Curragh of Kildare/The Winter It Is Past (71* d)	RE: Origins: Curragh of Kildare/The Winter It Is Past	21 Jan 24
according to https://mainlynorfolk.info/folk/songs/thewinteritispast.html Burns based The Winter it is Past on a song called The Lovesick Maid. In that song the absent lover is a highwayman, an element which Burns left out. In that account of origins, the Curragh of Kildare would have derived from the Burns song which derived from a different traditional song.
