The poem "Lord Ullin's Daughter" by Thomas Campbell tells a tragic love story. A Scottish chieftain and his beloved flee from her father across a stormy sea. They persuade a boatman to row them despite the raging storm. However, the powerful winds and waves overwhelm the boat, and the young woman and her lover perish in each other's arms. Her father Lord Ullin helplessly witnesses their death from the shore, left alone to grieve the loss of his daughter.
