The words of "Robin Adair" itself are understood to be by Lady Caroline Keppel, who was in Love with a surgeon by that name. (This seems more likely than the theory that Robert Burns wrote it, although Burns certainly knew Keppel's lyrics and made his own parodies upon the words). Some later versions of the melody contain "Scotch snaps" but this version follows the simplest melodic line, without the Scotch snaps - possibly O'Daly's original tune? - and with quite roMantic choral harmonies.

The work is a melancholic Love song that is based on a folk like melody underlined by a constant pedal point, resembling the sound of bagpipes.
English Translation: Full of tears will be that day When from the ashes shall rise the guilty Man to be judged; Therefore spare him, O God, Merciful Lord, grant them eternal rest. Amen Taghkanic Chorale https://www.taghkanicchorale.org/ May 2020
