LAST ROSE OF SUMMER, THE. AKA and see "Groves of Blarney (The)," "Young Man's Dream (The)." Irish, Air. F Major (Howe, O'Flannagan): E Flat Major (Haverty): G Major (Scanlon). Standard tuning (fiddle). One part (O'Flannagan): AB (Haverty): AABA (Howe): ABBA (Scanlon). "'Tis the last rose of summer" is the title of a song by Thomas Moore [1], and appears in A Selection of Irish Melodies (No. 4, Book 5, 1813), to the older tune of Alfred Milliken's "The Groves of Blarney" (which itself is said to have been borrowed from a seventeenth-century harp melody). Moore's volume has been described as a "veritable cornerstone of bourgeois 'popular song'"[1], and was generally much admired in the parlor room, although a few songs were considered impolite in theme.
See also Pipe Major William Robb's melodically similar retreat march "When the Battle's O'er."
The tune was played for dancing (probably as a waltz) by a 1912 dance band in Orchards, Washington, led by fiddler Arthur D. Streeter.
