The Rose of Tralee.

The "Rose of Tralee" is a legend that is based upon a true story. William Pembroke Muttanagh loved a young girl named Mary O'Connor. Because they were from different caste systems, they were unable to be together. William's parents sent him off to war. He returned home from war with the intention of asking Mary to marry him. Instead, he met up with her funeral procession. He wrote "The Rose of Tralee" for Mary.
