"Róisín Dubh" (; "Dark Rosaleen" or "Little Dark Rose") is one of Ireland's most famous political songs. It is based on an older love-lyric which referred to the poet's beloved rather than, as here, being a metaphor for Ireland. The intimate tone of the original carries over into the political song. It is often attributed to Antoine Ó Raifteiri, but almost certainly predates him.

The song is reputed to have originated during the Nine Years' War in O'Donnell's camps. Another source attributes it to a Tyrconnellian poet under the reign of Red Hugh. According to music ...
