"Mary O'Meara" is a song written by Poul Anderson, originally published in his novel World without Stars. Closely modeled after the Danish song "Anna Lovinda," it presents the tribute of a principal character to his late beloved. She had died shortly before treatments granting extreme longevity became widely available.
The song is popular in filk circles with the tune written for it by Anne Passovoy. Occasionally it is heard with the "Anna Lovinda" tune.
