Notes 1 In this song it is said that three things come without being asked - fear, jealousy and love. The bard says that she sends her wishes to the glen and that she will not go with another man. If she saw her love coming she would be happy but if he doesn't come for her she knows that it would be because she is not as rich as the other girl.
