Summary
A woman sings of her predicament in a lullaby to her child. Her first husband, Tormod, had been fighting in France and was presumed dead. She eventually married Eòghann Òg and they had a child, Mòrag. However, one day she heard that Tormod had returned and she sings to the child that she wishes Tormod were cold in the ground.
