    He’s made a harp of her breast-bane,
    Whose sound wad melt a heart of stane.

    And wi’ them strung his harp sae rare.

    The music of an unhappy people, of the children of disappointment; they tell of death and suffering and unvoiced longing toward a truer world, of misty wanderings and hidden ways.
