A young girl is seen playing in a mountain forest covered in green broom. Dressed in white, she looks like a lost cloud moving quickly and quietly through the trees. The narrator watches her from a distance, thinking she is calling out to him, but she disappears into the fog or shade. The girl sings beautiful songs that hurt the narrator's heart, filled with love for her. He wishes the girl's father would give her to him, as he would feel no more sorrow and care for her needs.
