Summary
This song was composed for the fair maid of Barra. The bard wishes he could fly freely across the firths like a bird. He would be sad when the fair maid parted from him. He describes her as the star that lights up each day for him.
Item Notes
A fragment from the end of the second verse, plus two complete 8-line verses. The song was composed by Donald Allan MacDonald of South Uist (Dòmhnall Ailean Dhòmhnaill na Bainich).
