"Rising of the Moon", traditionally, has the context of rebellion, conspiracy and the use of pikes to restore Irish freedom. This may be an earlier iteration of the same tune (tunes do that often enough!) but are you sur eit is called the "Rising of the Moon"? The only non-militant reference tot he "Rising of the Moon" that I am aware of is the first Pickle song in the Mudcat Songbook, called "Your Pickle Glows At Night", q.v..

But it's not about a maiden, anyway so it can't be the same thing !!
