Summary
A man's love song to the girl with the smooth brown hair. The poet is heavy-hearted since she left. Her voice was like music to him, sweeter than the song of the thrush. She had a kindly nature and her presence lifted his spirits. He believed that she was sincere but now there is no relief for him from the pain he feels.
Item Notes
First prize in the boys' 16-18 prescribed song. The song was composed by Malcolm Gillies, Cape Breton.
