'''MO CRAOIBHIN AOIBHIN AULINN Ó.''' Irish, Air (3/4 time). E Minor. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. According to John O'Daly ('''The Poets and Poetry of Munster''', 1860, p. 71), the title is pronounced "mo chreevin, eevin, aulin o!" and "symbolizes our Native Land, and means literally 'my little-bough pleasant, beauteous, young'; this expression being applicable to a youthful maiden as 'scion' is used in English to designate a descendant." ''Craoibhin Aoibhin'' ("fine little branch") was also the nickname of scholar and writer Dr. Douglas Hyde (1860-1949), who led the Irish language revival and was president of Ireland from 1938 to 1945.
