Origin of melody[edit]
No reference is given for the claim that the composer was George Alexander Osborne, and I cannot find one myself. It cannot be true anyway, because Osborne was born in 1809 and Stevenson's setting was published in December 1813 in volume 5 of Moore's Irish Melodies. I have removed the mention of Osborne. 87.113.57.138 (talk) 21:20, 25 May 2013 (UTC)
- This is definitely the right choice, as the tune is a variation of a traditional tune, connected to Donnchadh Ó hAmsaigh, called "Aislean an Oigfear" or The Young Man's Dream. As I have a reference for this, as well as a sample of the original tune, and there is no reference given for Mr. Stevensons composership, I will correct the article now --Ginness (talk) 08:12, 4 June 2014 (UTC)
Additional Cultural Uses[edit]

Not to forget Keisuke Kinoshita's famous film "Twenty-four roses" where the melody is played softly many times.
What does the article header have to do with the topic?[edit]
I'm struggling to understand the connection between the banner and the topic of this article If someone may connect it to me in a way that makes sense, that would be appreciated. Also, if you do agree with me, let me know. 2600:1700:7C40:7AC0:35F8:3157:7BE0:89AF (talk) 22:24, 9 September 2022 (UTC)
