Summary
A love song in which a man praises the beauty of his beloved. He says that she is whiter than the swan, than sea-foam, than milk or than snow. She has golden hair and her cheeks are like the rose. When the summer comes, he says that he will frolic with her in the shady woods.
Item Notes
Part of a programme featuring highlights from the National Mòd. The song was composed by Ewen MacLachlan (c.1775-1822).
