A possible story being told through these lyrics (of which many variants exist) is of a soldier's farewell - taken prisoner and sentenced to be executed, he will take the "low road" home through death - to a friend or lover with whom he shared an idyllic lost youth. The verses tell of the beauty of the landscape of their childhood home and how nature keeps going, spring coming again each year, regardless of their trials and sadness.
"The world does na ken how we're greetin'": The world does not know how we're grieving
