Summary
This is a man's love song in which the bard tells how he is away from the girl he loves. He has asked her to to promise to wait until he returns. She gives him a picture and a lock of her fair hair. He thinks of her while he is at sea, and asks the north wind to bear greetings to her.
Item Notes
5 quatrains sung plus choruses at the start and after 2 - 5. The song was composed by Neil MacLeod.
