Mentioned in a Murdoch ad in the November 1, 1921 Musical Times (and not as among the works "in press".)
Padraic Colm's dates are 1881-1972, so his songs are not public domain in Canada until 2023. These songs were published individually, together, and in a set with the 3 Irish Songs GP 252 of 1922 (as "9 Irish Songs for voice and piano" - 3+5 does not equal 9, but... well?!...)
