Summary
In this love song a woman tells of her love for the shepherd, who has now gone away from the area. She tells how she was often with him as he tended the sheep. He was also a skilled hunter of wild geese. The woman is so sad that she wishes they had never met, and knows that she was not the first girl he loved.
