Explain the line: “Though tempests round us gather;/I’ll meet the raging of the skies,/ But not an ‘ angry father.”
Lord Ullin’s daughter is a determined lady who loves the chieftain, despite many odds. She knew her father’s nature well that he would never accept the chieftain as her groom and would never bless her alliance with him. When she elopes with her lover, she is well prepared to face dangers that would result. They have been fleeing for three days. There is no place, where they can escape the wrath of her father, unless they cross the Lochgyle. The tempest, the menacing waves, the mighty wind, the dark raging skies do not deter her. She and her lover try to cross the sea. Even when she is in the grip of death, her one arm is around her lover. This was more than she could have bargained for. It was better than being alive and be separated from her lover. At least they were united in death.
