Tune Add: Missing tunes wanted: (120* d) Added by Sorcha, who had been told that the tune was originally Irish. As Phillipa pointed out elsewhere, that probably isn't the case; it appears that someone has set a poem in Irish Gaelic to Foster's tune, and that people have assumed subsequently that it must have been Irish all along.
