Music

This is an air to a song about a beautiful girl who appeared to a poet. Unfortunately she didn't fall for his charm and disappeared, leaving him heartbroken. Some people see the resemblance between this tune and the old Scottish tune Tweedside. I first heard the tune on an LP by The Boys of the Lough in the 1970s.
