Summary
The bard wishes he could be back in the glen where he spent his youth. He thinks of the sights and sounds there at the time, which are no longer there. There used to be music, dancing and stories. Now, houses are in ruins, and the people are either scattered or have died. When the bard dies, he hopes to be buried in the glen.
