Paul de Grae notes that Petrie's setting (Stanford/Petrie, No. 555), obtained from Joyce, has the final four bars repeated to give a twelve-bar whole, but Petrie cites Joyce's source as "Michael (sic) Hennessy, Kilfinnane."

SUMMER IS COME, THE. AKA - "Summer is come and the grass is green (The)." Irish, Air (3/4 time). D Minor (Joyce): D Major (O'Neill). Standard tuning (fiddle). One part. Sergeant James O'Neill re-barred Joyce's tune, changed the mode from minor to major, and added other flurishes, but it is the essentially the same tune as printed by Joyce. The first stanza of the words Joyce prints goes:

The summer is come and the grass is green,
The leaves are budding on ev'ry tree,
The ships are sailing upon the sea,
And I'll soon find tidings of gramachree.

Paul de Grae notes that Petrie's setting (Stanford/Petrie, No. 555), obtained from Joyce, has the final four bars repeated to give a twelve-bar whole, but Petrie cites Joyce's source as "Michael (sic) Hennessy, Kilfinnane"[1]

Bunting's "The Summer is coming" (AKA "Summer is icumen in") is a different, unrelated air.
