Subject: Lyr/Tune Add: EDMUND OF THE HILLS (Lady Morgan) From: Bruce O. Date: 30 Nov 97 - 04:48 PM DT only has three "Ned of the Hill" songs, so here's another.
From 'The Universal Songster', III, p. 77, 1828. I think Lady Morgan was still Sidney Owenson when the following was written, c 1805. Her father, the Irish singer Robert Owenson (Mac Eoghain), had sung the Gaelic version, "Emhun uh Chnuick", in a Dublin concert in 1778. (He also sang Drimindown, in DT, at the same concert). Incidently, Oliver Cromwel died in 1658, and had nothing to do with the Irish war of 1690-1, and can't be connected in any way to Edmund Ryan, who is said to have died in 1724. Edmund of the Hills
Ah! who is that whose thrilling tones
Here, nightly, through the long, long year,
Like a soft gloomy cloud thine hair,
