“The Rising of the Moon“ is an Irish ballad, written by John Keegan Casey (1846-1870), inspired by the Irish Rebellion of 1798. The song refers to the outbreak of the rebellion, as United Irish rebels convey the order to rise. The air of hope and optimism associated with the ultimately doomed rebellion was intended to provide inspiration for rebels preparing to take to the field in another rebellion, the Fenian rebellion of 1867. Lyrics: “Oh, then tell me, Seán O'Farrell, tell me why you hurry so?“ “
