Summary
This love song begins with a dream image of a swan on the sea. The composer expresses his sadness that he and the girl he loved have parted. He tells of his hard life at sea, and wishes he could go to the girl, though he knows she has broken her promise to him. He wants to know the truth and will not pass judgement on her.
