In North Antrim there is a long poetic tradition.
The process of composition is locally called 'making a poem'.
This one was 'made' by James (Poet) McGowan of Broughgammon, 4 miles west of Ballycastle, and his subject was a young lass from nearby Croaghmore.
The poem would also have been sung in the unaccompanied style of the district.
