Summary

A man's love song. He fell in love with the young maid at an early age. He describes her beauty and likens her to a flower in the garden. She is purer than snow or bog cotton. He was foolish to love her as they cannot be together. He plans to go to sea so as not to upset her father. He hopes her feelings for him do not fade and that he will return to see her.
