THE MEETING OF THE WATERS.
The following song was suggested to its author, Thomas Moore, by a visit, in the sumĀ­mer of 1807, to the romantic spot in the county Wicklow, where the waters of the Avon and the Avoca are blended.
The air, which is called " The Old Head of Dennis," was an especial favorite with Moore.
