Summary

In this song the bard remembers his childhood when he used to play with other children. He also says that some of his relations showed no pity towards him even after his mother had died. With his mother's death he was left like someone who was drowning and couldn't swim ashore. He criticises those who put more importance on wealth rather than on life.
