Summary

A man's love song to his beloved Mary, who is in the Lowlands, far from home. He begs her to return to him or he will end up in the grave with sadness. He praises her for her beauty and wishes they could be together high up on the mountain, out of sight of others, with only a little child for company. He wishes they were together in a secret place out on the heather-clad moorland, with nothing between them but a linen shirt, and that they could sleep soundly, side by side.
