10, "The Last Rose of Summer".

The Last Rose of Summer was originally an old Irish ballad, and later, a man named Millikin rewrote its lyrics and renamed it "Blarney's Grove". By the nineteenth century, Thomas Moore, a famous Irish poet, was interested in it, but was also dissatisfied with both of the previous words.

So it was rewritten and renamed The Last Rose of Summer.
