LOUGH SHEELING [2] (Loc Saileann). AKA and see "Adieu My Loved Harp," "Come rest in this bosom," "Bridget O'Malley." Irish, Slow Air (3/4 time). E Minor. Standard tuning (fiddle). One part (Holden): AB (Clinton, Haverty, O'Neill). This air is an old harp melody used by Thomas Moore for his song "Come Rest in this Bosom." Francis O'Neill, writing in Irish Folk Music: A Fascinating Hobby (1910, p. 132), remarks that the air is a variant of "O Aranmore Loved Aranmore," and P.W. Joyce prints a variant as the air of the song "Molly Bawn (1)."

Hardiman links the song with "Bridget O'Malley," which he attributes to O'Carolan, but the association is not yet substantiated.
