ARRAH MY DEAR EVELEEN (Ara Mo Eiblin Dileas). AKA and see "Silent O Moyle!" "Song of Finnula." Irish, Air (4/4 time). A Minor. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. Thomas Moore set his song "Song of Finnula" to this air (which also supplies the other alternate title, derived from the first line: "Silent, oh Moyle! be the roar of thy water"). A later editor of Moore's works, Charles Villiers Stanford, was of the opinion that the sharpening of the seventh degree of the scale destroyed the original, preferable, form of the tune.
