Summary
A woman's song of unrequited love. A woman asks that if anyone is climbing over the pass, that they carry a message to the man she loves, to tell him that she still loves him. She says that three things come without seeking; fear, jealousy and love, and it is no wonder that she should be caught by at least one of them. Many a fine lady was also in the same situation as her; having given her love with little reward at the end.
